COLA courses are 1-credit seminars capped at 18 first-year students, all of whom are assigned to the instructor as advisees. They are topically focused on an area identified by the faculty member; they also include a significant advising component centered on undergraduate issues (e.g., choosing a major, study abroad opportunities, undergraduate research, etc.).

"Difficulty 4, hotness 3. 小课，一帮大一的一起讨论问题，一学期以后彼此熟悉。理想国其实比较难读的，但是课上一些philosophical discussion很有意思。教授和善，而且COLA teacher会是你的academic advisor。阅读难但是课其实还好，最后给分不严。"
