I have an offer from another M.A. or another Ph.D. program. How soon will I hear from Columbia?

Applicants to the free-standing M.A. program who receive an offer from another university should contact the Director of Academic Administration and Finance in MESAAS to enquire about the possibility of an early admissions decision. Offers of admission to the Ph.D. program are made around the same time as offers from peer institutions. Ph.D. applicants with offers from other institutions are welcome to contact the Director of Graduate Studies to inquire about the status of their application.
