First-year

List College students are academically motivated, Jewishly curious, and eager for a transformative college experience. Our students explore, collaborate, and challenge themselves to deepen their education during the years they spend in our unique dual-degree programs. First-year applicants, those applying directly from high school or a gap year, submit the Common Application, Writing Supplement, and send all supplementary materials to the List College Office of Admissions. Complete applications are shared with Columbia and/or Barnard, and the schools make a joint admissions decision.

Transfer

List College students are academically motivated, Jewishly curious, and eager for a transformative college experience. Our students explore, collaborate, and challenge themselves to deepen their education during the years they spend in our unique dual-degree programs. Most transfer students apply after their first year at another institution. With an acceptance, students receive a tentative credit evaluation including the number of semesters required to complete the two degrees. The time required will depend on a student's Hebrew knowledge and the number of transfer credits awarded.
