Recruiting Schedule

Representatives from SIPA travel extensively each year to visit college campuses, hold admissions forums, host receptions, and attend graduate school fairs in various cities. Such events provide an opportunity to learn more about our programs as well as our application processes and procedures.

We invite you to attend an event in your area and learn more about SIPA from a representative of our program.

Visitors to New York City are also welcome to attend an on-campus information session. To register for an on-campus information session, please contact the Admissions Office at 212-854-6216 or at sipa_admission@columbia.edu.

Please revisit this web site frequently, as dates and times are subject to change. More event details and additional events will be added throughout the fall. Please subscribe to the SIPA Admissions Blog for updates: SIPA Admissions Blog

We look forward to meeting you.
