At Columbia International College, education extends far beyond the confines of the classroom. Our extensive extracurricular program is a cornerstone of the Total Care Education System®, designed to provide diverse experiences that unlock each student’s full potential.
It’s just weeks into Winter 2026 semester and CIC students have already engaged in a series of enriching activities, from experiencing the majesty of Niagara Falls and the physical challenge of the CN Tower Climb to exploring marine biology at Ripley’s Aquarium and historical wonders at the Royal Ontario Museum.
This initial lineup is only the beginning. Whether seeking to acquire new skills or bolster personal growth, students will find opportunities in the following programs offered by the Student Leadership Development Office:
