APPLICATION INFORMATION FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

First year bachelor's degree applicants - must supply academic records for the last four (4) years of secondary school, all national examination results (such as "0" levels, "A" levels, Baccalaureate, Abitur, International Baccalaureate, etc.), and a diploma showing proof of graduation, if available at the time of application.

Transfers - second or third year bachelor's degree applicants (students who have already attended a tertiary level institution and wish to complete their first degree or a second bachelor's degree at Columbia University) - must supply the records described in First year bachelor's degree applicants (above) plus year by year academic records of all tertiary level work showing dates of attendance, courses taken and final examination results, and diplomas received (if any).

Graduate (master's degree and doctoral degree) applicants - must supply records of all courses and examinations for all university or other tertiary level work completed plus proof of graduation, when available.

Admission Examination Results - Please consult the bulletin of the school to which you plan to apply for the specific test(s) required by that school. You should take these exams approximately nine to twelve months before the term in which you wish to enroll.

Proof of Proficiency in English - If your first language is not English or you received a bachelor's degree from a country where English is not the official language, you will be required to submit a current score (no more than two years old) of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The minimum TOEFL score expected of most departments of Columbia University is 600 (written) or 250 (computer version). You may obtain an application from your local U.S. Information Service counseling or binational center or by writing to Educational Testing Service, Test of English as a Foreign Language Bulletin, Princeton, NJ 08541-6154, U.S.A.

If you are in New York City at the time of making a formal application, you may take the Columbia University English Placement Test (EPT) instead of the TOEFL. Telephone (212) 854-3584 to make an appointment for the test and inform the appropriate admissions office at Columbia of the date when the test will be taken.

Depending on your TOEFL score, you may also be required to take the Columbia University English Placement Test (EPT) at the time of registration. If your EPT test results do not show satisfactory English proficiency, you will be required to study English full-time or along with a reduced academic program. Students whose proficiency in English is not strong should plan to spend more time in the United States than the minimum required for the degree, as the points earned for intensive English do not count as points toward a degree. In many cases, financial aid given by the School cannot be used to study courses in intensive English. (See section onAmerican Language Program).

Statement of Purpose or Essay - The purpose of the essay is to give the admissions committee a clear picture of your background, desired study plan, and your ability to write correctly in English. The essay is to be written by you, in your own words. Each school has a different writing requirement which will be defined in the formal application.

Letters of Reference - These should be obtained from present or former teachers (in most instances) who are familiar with your academic background. Each school has its own form on which the letter is to be written and it is included in the formal application.

Application Fee - Each school at Columbia University requires a fee to be submitted for processing the application for admission. The exact amount varies from school to school. Most schools will not waive the application fee.

Certification of Finances - If you are admitted to Columbia University you will need, with certain exceptions, to contact the International Students and Scholars Office (ISSO) for the document (Form I-20) required in support of your application for a student visa. Part of the requirement to qualify for a student visa is proof of ability to finance one's education. Please consult the bulletin of the school to which you plan to apply for that school's documentation requirement when submitting your application. Although financial documentation may not be required at this time, it will be required to qualify for a Form I-20. If you will be receiving financial aid from Columbia University, you may be required to show funds to supplement an offer of financial aid from Columbia as not all offers of financial aid cover full expenses. Married students who plan to bring their families will be required to show funds available to support their dependents. (Also see next section on Financial Planning).
