Columbia Video Network

Columbia Video Network (CVN) is the Graduate Distance Learning from Columbia University's School of Engineering and Applied Science. CVN's Graduate Degree Programs are fully accredited by the Commission of Higher Education, a unit of The Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. All of CVN's Graduate Degrees are granted by Columbia University, and these degrees are identical to, and indistinguishable from those earned by students on-campus at Columbia University.

ABOUT CVN

CVN has been leading the field of distance learning since its' inception in 1986, enabling thousands of working professionals and remotely located students to pursue their degrees without any residency requirements on the campus in New York. CVN's degree programs have been rated as "Best of the Web" in the category of Higher Education by Forbes Magazine. To view the complete Forbes review, please visit the following link:

In order to allow you to "meet" some of your fellow CVN students, CVN has created an interview series where some CVN students discuss their experiences on CVN. Please feel free to view these short video clips, using Windows Media Player, available here.

HOW CVN WORKS

Classes available through CVN are taught on campus in New York City by Columbia University's faculty members. Faculty and students meet on campus in specially equipped classrooms, and the classes are recorded and made available electronically to registered CVN students via online streaming media or via downloadable lectures.

CVN students take the same classes, have the same homework assignments, and take the same exams as their on-campus counterparts. The only difference is in location. CVN students can earn the same degree as on-campus students: a Master of Science (MS) or Professional Degree (PD) from Columbia University's School of Engineering and Applied Science.
