Homeschooled Students
Columbia College is a private, homeschooling friendly, four-year liberal arts and
sciences college. Located in Columbia, Missouri, we are affiliated by covenant
with the Disciples of Christ Church. Current enrollment in the Day Program
is approximately 1,009 students.
An important feature for homeschooled students is access to personal attention in academics. This is made possible by Columbia College's student-to-faculty ratio of 14:1, the Math and Writing Centers, and many other on-campus student services.
Columbia College generally grants admission to homeschooled applicants with an ACT, SAT or GED score at a minimum 50th percentile.
Homeschooled students' academic records should reflect a college bound curriculum with a minimum of four units of English, three units of math (two years of algebra and one year of geometry), two units of natural science, and two units of social studies. Columbia College does accept some CLEP and Online Course credit.
Columbia
College has many leadership and
student involvement opportunities including
ten academic honors organizations, BACCHUS, Student Government Association,
Partners in Education, and many more.
Residence halls offer a friendly, comfortable living environment with climate control, cable television, phonemail and Internet access provided in each room.
Columbia College boasts the best of both worlds: a strong liberal arts and sciences college on a small campus in a true "college town." The campus is within walking distance of Columbia's vibrant downtown.
Columbia College is a "good fit" for homeschooled students. Each year shows an increase in the number of homeschooled students who are choosing to attend Columbia College.
