The Bachelor of Arts in History at Columbia University's School of General Studies is designed for nontraditional undergraduates seeking a comprehensive liberal arts education. Students complete Columbia's rigorous Core Curriculum and a History major which emphasizes critical analysis, research, and the synthesis of information. The program requires 9 history courses, including specialization, breadth (both 'removed in time' and 'removed in space'), and seminar courses. All plans of study are individualized and approved by an Undergraduate Education Committee advisor. Students benefit from Columbia's academic resources and may customize their focus in the field of history for robust intellectual exploration. 来源： https://www.gs.columbia.edu/content/general-studies-gs-undergraduates
