The Joint Bachelor's Degree Program between City University of Hong Kong and Columbia University offers highly qualified students already enrolled in select majors at CityUHK the opportunity to continue their education in New York City at Columbia University through the Third Year Entry application process. In lieu of the traditional third year at CityUHK, admitted students spend two years enrolled full-time at the School of General Studies, Columbia University's undergraduate college for students pursuing a nontraditional educational path. Upon completion of their studies at Columbia, Joint Degree Program students will earn two bachelor's diplomas, one from each institution.
