The profitability of athletics can hinge on a small but important factor—the game schedule. While many Division I schools have begun to place more games on weekdays to ensure more viewership and thus greater revenue, the Ivy League has decided to extend its basketball season to primarily single-matchups on weekends to accommodate the academic needs of student-athletes. However, this move may mean a decline in the profitability of Columbia’s program, according to experts.

Though Columbia College, School of General Studies, and Barnard require at least two science courses for graduation, don’t worry if you’re not so scientifically inclined. You don’t have to take General Chemistry or Cell Biology. We’ve consulted Columbia's list of courses designed for nonscience majors, the Columbia Undergrad Listing of Professor Ability (CULPA), and course reviews on Vergil+ to find courses offered in fall 2019 that will allow you to knock out the science requirement without tanking your GPA.

We hate to break it to you, but we officially have less than ten class days left, which of course means that summer is just around the corner (yay!) but also that finals are fast approaching (boo!). We can totally understand if you’re feeling stressed and a little paralyzed just thinking about the workload. But if your study plan is to binge-watch Netflix and then pull a few consecutive all nighters in Butler, we’ll be blunt: That’s a guaranteed recipe for disaster. Instead, consider spacing things out a little this round by creating a study schedule. While we can’t guarantee success, we can promise you that with a study schedule, you’ll (hopefully) maintain better mental health during this trying season because you can at least rest assured that you’ve tried your best.

It's the classic finals problem: You roll out of bed at 10:23 a.m. (if you're disciplined) and it's the first morning of reading week. You trudge over to Butler only to find that every seat is already taken. Same thing goes if you're a night studier. At 10:23 p.m. it's just as packed. Seems like it's nearly impossible to get a table in Butler ever. (Well, that's technically not true.)

You've done the math and you only need a handful of electives and a Global Core to graduate. You're just starting to warm up to the idea of taking it easy for once when an overachieving friend asks, "What are you taking next semester?" You rattle off a list of four simple classes, but he's still looking at you expectantly, as if to say, "Is that all you're taking?" Wait, now he's actually asking, "Is that all you're taking?" Here are a few ways to make your 12-credit senior schedule sound impressive:
