Columbia Visits You (Domestic)

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions travels all over the country each year to introduce Columbia. We often travel with other colleges and universities. An admissions representative will be present to speak about the Columbia experience, as well as to provide information about the admission and financial aid process. Please scroll all the way down to see what cities we are visiting this fall and to register for an event near you. More events will be added later this fall so please check back if you don't yet see your city listed.

Join us for an information session in your area this fall, often with our travel partners Brown University, the University of Chicago, Cornell University and Rice University through Exploring Educational Excellence. Columbia will also be joined by our newest travel partners Barnard College, Fordham University, The Juilliard School and New York University for the Arts Capital of the World Tour. In addition, Columbia will be joining Bryn Mawr, MIT, Chicago, Wellesley and Barnard on a Southern Swing.

If you are in school abroad, please visit the Columbia Visits You (International) webpage for more information on events outside of the United States.
