Deadlines and Application Requirements

Our 2023 application is OPEN. Start your application now.

Note: All materials (essays, clips, work samples, resumes, etc.) must be submitted in English. If an original transcript (mark sheet, diploma, degree certificate, or academic record) is not in English, you must upload both the official transcript in the original language and its verbatim English translation.

The applicant must submit all materials directly, not through an agent or third-party vendor, with the following exceptions: the US Department of State's Fulbright Program and its three partner agencies IIE, LASPAU and AMIDEAST; the Danish-American Fulbright Commission (DAF); or Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD).

The applicant will be required to attest to the accuracy and authenticity of all information and documents submitted to Columbia. If you have any questions about this requirement, please contact the Office of Admissions at [email protected]. Applicants may be required to assist admissions staff and faculty involved in admission reviews in the verification of all documents and statements made in documents submitted by students as part of the application review process. Failure to submit complete, accurate and authentic application documents consistent with these instructions may result in denial or revocation of admission, cancellation of academic credit, suspension, expulsion or eventual revocation of degree.
