About Columbia University

Columbia University is a private Ivy League research university founded in 1754 and based in New York City. It is the oldest institution of higher education in New York and the fifth-oldest in the United States, known for producing Nobel laureates, Supreme Court justices, heads of state, and generations of journalists who shape public discourse around the world.

The Columbia Journalism School, founded in 1912 through a bequest from Joseph Pulitzer, remains one of the most respected journalism programs anywhere. It administers the Pulitzer Prizes each year and trains reporters, editors, and media leaders at every stage of their careers. Fellowship programs including the Knight-Bagehot Fellowship in Economics and Business Journalism bring working professionals back to campus for a year of focused study alongside Columbia faculty, visiting media figures, and business leaders.

Columbia employees work across campuses in Morningside Heights, Washington Heights, and Manhattanville, with access to a comprehensive benefits package, tuition assistance, professional development resources, and the intellectual community of one of the world's great universities.
