GS planning to expand dual-degree program with City University of Hong Kong
The School of General Studies is planning to expand its dual-degree program with the City University of Hong Kong next semester.
The dual-degree program with the City University of Hong Kong began as a pilot program for only a few CityU students in 2012-2013, but will be permanently instituted and open to a larger group of students next semester.
Students from CityU matriculate at Columbia in their junior years to complete two undergraduate degrees—one from CityU and one from GS—in mathematics, computer science, or biology. There are currently six students enrolled, but there are plans to eventually enroll about 30 students in total. This program follows in the footsteps of GS’s partnership with French University’s dual Bachelor of Arts degree program in the social and political sciences.
As of now, the dual-degree program is only a one-way deal for students coming to Columbia from CityU, but GS Vice Dean Curtis Rodgers said that the goal is to develop this into a reciprocal relationship.
