Columbia University Academic Calendar 2023-2024
Columbia University Academic Calendar – See the official New Mexico State University academic calendar showing important dates, academic events, and deadlines.
The University Academic Calendar published by Columbia University outlines important semester dates and milestones for the entire campus community. While the main calendar provides information relevant to all schools, individual schools at Columbia often maintain separate calendars with additional events and details pertinent to their specific programs and student population.
The calendar shown above is specifically for Columbia University’s School of Social Work (SSW). It supplements the broader University Academic Calendar with orientation dates, field instruction assignments, and other deadlines unique to the school and its students. Adherence to this schedule helps SSW administrators and faculty organize and structure the myriad trainings, placements, conferences, breaks, registrations or affiliations that first and continuing years undergraduate and graduates experience. The school educates students on social policy and research methodology to tackle a host of societal problems. Its rigorous interdisciplinary education includes years of fieldwork, a unique requirement among peers. In this article, you will find the 2023-2024 Columbia University SSW academic calendar and a link to the official site to check other schools’ calendars.
