The best way to get to know COLUMBIA COLLEGE CHICAGO—its campus, active student community, and dynamic urban backdrop—is to experience it for yourself.  Each year the Graduate Admissions & Services office hosts a series of events designed to help prospective students learn more about our innovative graduate programs.

  • Spend a day on campus and get your questions answered by faculty, current students, and admissions staff during our FALL OPEN HOUSE. Open House is our most comprehensive event, giving you an in-depth look at what it means to be part of Columbia's vibrant community of scholars and artists.
  • Additionally, CAMPUS TOURS are conducted Monday through Friday at 10:30am and 1:30pm, and on Saturdays at 11am. PLEASE NOTE: tours are geared towards the undergraduate student population, although graduate students may find them useful in getting a general sense of our urban campus.

UNABLE TO ATTEND ANY OF OUR SCHEDULED EVENTS? Our graduate admissions counselors are happy to speak with you, either in person or over the phone, on weekdays from 9:00am to 5:00pm. To schedule an appointment, contact us at 312-369-7260 or gradstudy@colum.edu

Whatever your availability, we're here to make sure your questions about graduate study at Columbia College Chicago are answered.
