Students successfully completing the requirements of the undergraduate advanced track will receive recognition on their academic record.
The required Advanced Track courses are not taken in excess of Major/Columbia requirements. Students should contact a departmental academic advisor to review which courses can be integrated into their degree plan for their major. The Undergraduate Advanced Track is not a major in itself.
