Columbia Video Network

Welcome to Columbia Video Network (CVN), the graduate distance learning program of Columbia University's School of Engineering & Applied Science (SEAS). CVN enables students globally to pursue residency-free, fully accredited engineering courses, certificates and degree programs completely via the Internet, allowing students to view their lectures anytime and anywhere.

"The CVN experience has been great. I download my lectures for the week and as I travel frequently for my work, I can view them easily in the airplane terminals of the world. It's surreal to be "sitting" in lecture at a yakitori stand in Osaka, faxing in a homework from San Francisco, or emailing the T.A. about the course from Atlanta. A great and wonderful way to learn in the modern era!" - Austin Lin, CVN Student
