Graduate Admissions

From Student to Active Professional

15 exceptional graduate programs in the arts, media, education, the business of the arts, and the application of the arts to healing.

Through rigorous advanced study, Columbia graduate students make the crucial transition from student to active professional, and our alumni are resilient, flexible and independent practitioners who understand the standards and expectations recognized by their professional community. As a graduate student at Columbia, you will have ample opportunity to engage with these professional communities through internships, student teaching, clinical work, exhibitions, editorial work on journals, or networking with practicing professionals.

Our faculty and students tell Columbia's story better than anyone else.
