Admissions
The Auditing Programs provide adults not currently enrolled in college with the opportunity to attend selected lectures drawn from Columbia University’s offerings in the Arts and Sciences during the academic year.
Applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible; space is limited and seats are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. Learn more about the application processes for the General Auditing, Manhattanville and Lifelong Learners Auditing programs in Admissions.
All auditors are required to reapply EACH academic year by July 20 and, if admitted, to accept their admission offer upon receipt to establish their continued interest in auditing courses at Columbia University. Failure to follow these application and acceptance steps will result in delayed participation in the Auditing program until the following year.
