Applying to an Undergraduate School

The university has 4 major undergraduate schools: Columbia College, Barnard College, the School of Engineering and Applied Science, and the School of General Studies. Each school has its own application procedure, however online information is centralized under the following webpage: Applying to Columbia. Most (but by no means all) of the CS majors are from the School of Engineering and Applied Science, and so here is a link to their admissions webpage: SEAS Undergraduate Admissions

Applying to the M.S. Program

Application to the M.S. program is through the School of Engineering and Applied Science. See here for information about the application procedure. You may obtain an application form by sending email, or by calling the department at (212) 939-7000.

Applying to the Professional Program

Note: This section has yet to be completed. Please direct any questions about the professional program to the departmental academic assistant, Melbourne Francis.

Applying to the Ph.D. Program

The Ph.D. program has its own webpage which contains the most important information concerning the application procedure. If you have any questions, please direct them to gradinfo@cs.columbia.edu. An application form may be obtained by sending email, or by calling the department at (212) 939-7000.

Application to the Ph.D. is both very competitive, and research oriented. You are strongly advised to spend effort finding out about the research here at Columbia, and in particular thinking about which faculty members share your research interests. The main sources of information are the Faculty Research Guide (HTML) (Postscript) and research group homepages. You should also feel free to contact potential advisors, and request information on their recent research and publications.

For a full description of the Ph.D. requirements, you should consult the Ph.D. Program Document (PostScript 148.8K). Other information about the Ph.D. program, such as qualifier syllabi, may be found under the Ph.D. program webpage.
