FAQs

• What kinds of fellowships are available if I am applying to an MA program?

  

  Students admitted to some master’s programs may be considered for a very limited number of existing merit-based awards. In most cases, a separate application is not required. However, applicants should be aware that not all MA programs offer these awards, and that awards may cover only a small portion of tuition costs. Some programs that offer merit-based awards require students to apply by an early deadline in order to be considered eligible for those awards and may ask applicants to provide additional information for scholarship consideration. Please review the program’s webpage on the GSAS website for that information.

• May I apply to more than one program?

  

  You may not submit more than one application per term to the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS). However, you may elect to have your application reviewed by a second program or department within GSAS if you are not offered admission by your first-choice program. Please see the application instructions for a more detailed explanation of this policy and the various restrictions that apply to a second choice. You may apply concurrently to a program housed at GSAS and to programs housed at other divisions of the university. However, GSAS does not share application materials with other divisions; you must complete the application requirements for each school. For example, to be considered for the PhD program in Biological Sciences, you must apply through the GSAS online application. You may also apply to a Biomedical PhD program, offered at Columbia University Medical Center, but you must submit the Biomedical PhD programs application.

• May another person or entity submit my application materials on my behalf?

  

  No. Third-party submissions are not permitted. Applicants must submit all materials directly, not through an agent or third-party vendor, with the sole exception of submissions by the US Department of State’s Fulbright Program and its three partner agencies IIE, LASPAU and AMIDEAST, and by the Danish-American Fulbright Commission (DAF), and Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD). Please also note: Under no circumstances should you upload a letter on behalf of a recommender. All letters must be submitted by the letter-writers themselves. If you upload a recommendation letter, disciplinary action may be taken; consequences may include the immediate rejection of an application or revocation of an offer of admission. In addition, you 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 GSAS Office of Admissions at [email protected]. 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. 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

• Where can I find answers to my questions about prerequisite requirement courses or a program’s content?

  

  The GSAS Office of Admissions does not provide information regarding a program’s prerequisite requirements. Please consult the departmental websites for that information. All program-related questions not covered on this website should be addressed directly to the department.
