As one of the colonial colleges and the fifth-oldest school
in the United States, Columbia has a lot of history. That history has created
an internationally recognized, elite university with an $8.2 billion endowment
and a library containing nearly 13 million volumes.
Columbia University is spread across five distinct campuses
in New York City, including Columbia College, the undergraduate division. In
2013, 26,376 students applied for 1,751 admittances to Columbia College.
The university’s medical school—the College of Physicians
and Surgeons, which was founded in 1767—produced the first M.D.’s in the 13
colonies. The school now graduates nearly 1,400 doctors per year.
Columbia is the leading university in the New York
metropolitan area, which gives its students numerous unique opportunities that
only proximity to Wall Street, the U.N., Broadway, and other epicenters of
finance, politics, and culture can bring. The university’s ideal location also
gives its students the chance to interact with various other respected
institutions, such as New York University.
