If you have always dreamt of attending an Ivy League school but do not live on the east coast, rest assured. More and more of the Ivies are starting to offer online and distance learning options to students across the nation and the world. Columbia University online programs are currently topping the list.

Columbia is just one of the eight schools that make up the prestigious Ivy League. It was established in 1754 by royal charter and has grown to include 20 different colleges in the New York area. Columbia fosters the academic excellence and tradition that is valued by all schools in the Ivy League, and this does not change with their approach to online learning.

Columbia currently has 30 online degree offerings, most of which are offered via their engineering department. Programs include computer science, chemical engineering, applied mathematics, and mechanical engineering. Students can earn their master’s, professional development certificate, or master’s certificate online. There is also a new dual MBA/MS in operations research that is available 100 percent online. In addition, you can now earn your PhD in industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, and computer systems engineering.

There are also courses available through the Columbia Video Network (CVN). These courses typically are not offered for college credit or count towards a degree and are graduate courses in engineering.

If you want the Ivy League education without moving across the country, look no further than Columbia University. Their online programs offer the same tradition of academic excellence and the same renowned faculty.
