About the Author: Hyun Lee
Hello, I would like to know how exactly to apply for an admission and also a scholarship to Columbia University. Thank you.
Hi, for graduate schools at Columbia University, the admission process is decentralized, meaning that each department’s admissions process is different. So, you should go to the department that you are interested and see the admission procedure there. Same with graduate scholarships at Columbia as well. Most Ph.D.s are fully funded at Columbia University, but for Master’s, each department have different funding levels.
I want to know the exact procedure to apply for MBA with scholarship
Hello, MBA is considered a professional degree and is not eligible for any significant scholarship.
Do you need a TOFEL certificate? And how about the score?
Hello, to be admitted Columbia University, you do need to show your English proficiency in some way or form. The scores differ by department and it is usually 80 – 100.
Hello, i would like to apply for graduate assistantships. I graduated BS Mechanical Engineer in the Philippines, Am i qualified?
Hello, there’s no “being qualified” for graduate assistantships because it’s not like if you meet this set of requirements, graduate assistantships are awarded. It depends on how many assistants are needed at that particular time. Regarding graduate assistantships at Columbia or at any US university though in general, Master’s students have a difficult time obtaining assistantships since the Ph.D. students get the assistantships first.
Hello, I am looking for a scholarship in Master of Counselling
Hello, Columbia University does offer Masters in Education with a focus on counseling, but I’m not sure if they offer just counseling itself. For scholarships such as graduate assistantships, you have to see if your department have funding available for Masters. It does differ by department.
Which PhD programs have full scholarships?
It depends on the department, but almost all Ph.D. programs offer full funding for their Ph.D. programs.
