Graduate Foundations

For students who wish to pursue graduate work, Columbia University provides excellent options with courses at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.

You may be returning to academia after an absence and want to refresh your skills in one area before you submit your application to a graduate program for focused pursuit of a higher degree. You may be looking to develop specific skills to fulfill application requirements. No matter what your end goal is, the School of Continuing Education can help prepare you for your future studies.

The Postbaccalaureate program offers a wide variety of subject areas for students to study with courses at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. A certificate program provides curricula to focus your studies, or you can work one-on-one with an academic advisor to set an individual course of study. The School of Continuing Education offers access to more than fifty subject areas you can pursue.

The School of Continuing Education’s Postbaccalaureate program will advise you on graduate school applications and support your continued pursuit of knowledge as you make your way through our program.
