Online Learning

The School of Professional Studies (SPS) offers online and hybrid courses through their Continuing Education program. These courses are available to anyone, not just Columbia students or alumni.

Online learning is also available through Columbia, an independent entity founded by Columbia University that offers free online data science and computer science courses.

The Center for Teaching and Learning supports faculty members who wish to develop their teaching skills and resources for improving student learning outcomes in on-campus classes.

The above-listed courses are the most common ones that you can find at Columbia University. However, many other courses are also offered in different departments of this prestigious university. For example, if you want to study business or management, plenty of options are available for it too! You can also check out our other blog posts about other universities, such as Harvard University and Yale University, where we’ve covered their course listings too.
