Reading List for Columbia STEM Majors
Many colleges ask applicants to share a favorite book, but Columbia University is one of the only schools that wants students to share their whole reading list — and not the books assigned in school. As one of the most famous and rigorous liberal arts schools in the country, Columbia looks for students with high intellectual potential. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that one sign of an intellectual person is that they choose to read more than what they are given for homework.
