Some info from a Columbia alumnus:
If he were in the COLLEGE, he would have had to have taken Columbia COLLEGE's required and extensive Core Curriculum, that consists of 4 seminars of Literature Humanities, Contemporary Civilization, Art Humanities, and Music Humanities. Columbia is pretty strict on this and all transfers must take these, as did all the transfers I knew while attending.

The other required courses in the Core Curriculum are writing, foreign language, and foreign culture courses that he may have been able to avoid through earlier coursework at Occidental.

Columbia COLLEGE has had this Core Curriculum since 1919, and all 4 seminars were required when Barack attended, especially of transfers.

Also, these COLLEGE-required seminars are not large lecture classes. The seminars have a maximum of 12 to 14 students. They are strictly regulated, e.g., missing more than 4 classes results in automatically failing the class.

The School of General Studies doesn't require the Core Curriculum, so Barack would've been more under the radar there. It also explains why no one knew him.

The School of General Studies also awards the B.A. degree. The School of General Studies is for non-traditional students, who are usually older, have unfinished degrees, etc. It is similar to Harvard's Extension School.

second link is particularly good.

"However during the campaign Obama said he was inspired, by his love of the country that allowed his father to triumph against astonishing odds." [what?]

First of all what country was he talking about, and one could ask: is he punishing America? for Snr hardly triumphed over any astonishing odds or triumphed in his life period. Jnr knew by that time he went onto a campaign trail, what his father described as from family members and his bigamy and abandonment relationships and even talked about the racism in his family and in school in his book.

Obama ran on a platform of transparency.

The majority of voters still do not know of what you write. The MSM won't talk about it. Anyone that does will face personal ridicule. Trump stuck his neck out and took on an unpopular and very queasy debate because it could be regarded as racist- whereas Obama finally was forced by someone into releasing his full legal certificate of birth, still surprised that it was even an issue?

Thanks for your input.

Snr father did the same general admission for credited studies.
