Preview Days
Come hear directly from our Graduate Ambassadors how Columbia's innovative approach to graduate study can help prepare you for leadership roles in education, the arts, the business of the arts and the application of the arts to healing.
We've said this before, but it bears repeating: our students tell Columbia's story better than anyone else. Our Graduate Ambassadors are current students, and represent each of Columbia's exceptional graduate programs. Preview Days are designed to keep things simple: we want to connect you with our Ambassadors so you can hear about graduate study at Columbia directly from them.
Why did they choose to attend Columbia? What kinds of opportunities has the experience afforded them? Why pursue a graduate degree now?
These are all great questions! Come down, ask our Ambassadors, and hear for yourself.
Following our student panel, stay for coffee and chat with our students and our staff from the Graduate Admissions Office and Student Financial Services.
