Exchange Programs

Want to live and learn in another country, visit a castle in the afternoon, and swim in the Mediterranean at night?  Or maybe you’re more into eating croissants for breakfast.  Or, maybe a hike along the Great Wall is just the thing to get your creative juices flowing, as you see how people in other cultures work in your major.

We’ve partnered with a select number of schools that allow you to continue in your major and also in your Liberal Education requirements.  If you’re anxious about study abroad, it’s nice to know the exchange campuses are visited by Columbia, and we’re in regular contact with their faculty and staff.  That means a whole lot of the red tape that can go along with study abroad is already taken care of for you.

Remember, though, you might need certain prerequisites or a portfolio, so it’s never too early to plan for an exchange program.  Then, when you’re more advanced in your coursework, you can spend a semester of, say, your junior year in England or Ireland or even China.

Yeah, but can you afford it?  The good thing about exchanges is that you continue to pay tuition to Columbia.  Easy as that.  You have to buy your plane tickets (it’s hard to drive to Australia), but the rest of your costs are comparable to your costs as a full-time Columbia student living on campus.

Utilize the Study Abroad Budget Planning Tool to determine the total cost associated with your program selection.

Check out our exchanges, but remember that there are a limited number of spots, so plan early!
