Founded in 1754, Columbia University in the City of New York is at once a small college and a major research university: an Ivy League education on a human scale. That means working in small classes and labs with pioneering faculty in every field from the classic to the cutting edge. It means being part of one of the most diverse student bodies in the world. It means our signature Core Curriculum along with stellar undergraduate research with world-renowned faculty. It means living in a city driven by the smartest, newest ideas. It means any pursuit, every opportunity is here.

Columbia Undergraduate Admissions offers a broad selection of virtual visit options, including virtual information sessions, student panels, student Q&A sessions and virtual tours. During normal operations, the Columbia University Visitors Center offers information sessions, campus tours and class visits. Reservations for in-person, on-campus programs are required for all visitors. The most current visit information can be found here.
