We look forward to getting to know you through your application. Be sure to read all contents in this First-Year Admission section as well as the Application Instructionscarefully before beginning an application. Columbia accepts the Common Application and the Columbia First-Year Application; all first-year candidates must apply online.

We accept applications for Columbia College and Columbia Engineering, undergraduate divisions of Columbia University; both serve full-time students only. Potential applicants to Columbia College who have taken a break of more than a year in their educations (with the exception of those in mandatory military service) should consider instead Columbia University School of General Studies; the same is true for all students who wish to attend a part-time program because of personal or professional reasons.

Students interested in pursuing a transatlantic undergraduate educational experience could consider the Dual BA Program Between Columbia University and Sciences Po.
