Home to five schools, more than 1,000 faculty, 60 research centers and institutes, and 28 academic departments, we provide a transformative educational experience to more than 16,000 undergraduate, graduate and PhD students at Columbia – nearly half the student body. Our field-defining research – anchored in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences – engages fundamental questions about our society and our world, and supports Columbia’s broader mission to advance knowledge, learning, and impact at the highest levels.
