About the Engineering Preview at Columbia

Each fall, Columbia Engineering offers an all-expenses paid, selective program designed for high school seniors who are interested in learning about our unique engineering education. Participants will have the opportunity to meet current Columbia Engineering students, discover the opportunities available in New York City and learn more about the college application process. 

Program Details

EPC will take place over three days and two nights from Sunday, October 13, to Tuesday, October 15, 2024 on Columbia's Morningside Heights campus in New York City. Columbia will fund and arrange hotel and travel accommodations, including air, rail and ground transportation, for the student and one parent/guardian. All meals and snacks during the program will be provided for the student as well.

Highlights of EPC typically include:

  • World-class faculty and research: Students will meet members of Columbia’s renowned faculty and visit our world-class research centers.
  • The NYC advantage: Students will experience New York City and the unparalleled cultural, research, career and entrepreneurship opportunities at our doorstep.
  • Inside look at life as a Columbian: Students will experience campus life and meet current students. In previous years, participants have met student leaders from a variety of student organizations such as Engineers Without Borders, the National Society of Black Engineers, the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, the Native American Council and the Society of Women Engineers.
  • Understanding the admissions process: Students will participate in comprehensive college admissions and financial aid workshops conducted by Columbia Undergraduate Admissions and Columbia Financial Aid & Educational Financing staff.

How to Apply

Admission to EPC is highly selective. The application is due Tuesday, September 3, 2024. Please note that all students who apply to EPC will receive a fee waiver for the general Columbia Undergraduate Admissions application process, regardless of whether they are selected for the program.

EPC is designed for high-achieving high school seniors who have:

  • Exemplary academic records, particularly in math and science, including coursework in calculus, physics and chemistry 
  • Sincere interest in pursuing an engineering education
  • Genuine appreciation for the vibrant Columbia community, bringing together students with varied lived experiences

EPC is designed to serve students who may have had less exposure to the fields of engineering and applied science, including:

  • Low-income students
  • Students who will be the first generation in their family to attend college
  • Students from underserved and rural communities
  • Students who qualify for Free or Reduced Price Lunch
  • Students attending Title 1 or economically-disadvantaged high schools

Start Your Application

Please email any questions about the Engineering Preview at Columbia to us at [email protected] .

My college search process began my junior year of high school near the summer. I began working on my college application and looking for fly in programs or other opportunities to visit schools and learn more about their programs. Eventually, I found Columbia's fly-in program and took part in what was one of the best programs of my life. Following that, I finished up my applications, but only submitted my ED application which was to Columbia. Fortunately after being accepted, I committed then and there and awaited beginning my academic experience at Columbia.

Office of the Dean, School - September 4, 2024

Welcome to the Fall Semester

Dear Member of the SPS Community: Whether you are new to the School of Professional Studies (SPS) or have been with the School for some time, I offer a heartfelt welcome to the fall 2024 semester. You’ve made it to Columbia University through your hard work, your resilience, and, most likely, an incredible support system. Never forget to thank those who helped you get here, and once you’ve thanked them, thank them again. Now that you’re here, the academic work begins. Our School has “Professional” in its name, and I know all of you will carry that with you here every day. Your professionalism along with your drive and compassion will strengthen our exceptional University. For our students, while you assiduously complete your assignments, participate in campus clubs, and hopefully explore all that this city has to offer, please know that you have a network of administrators, faculty, and peers to assist you with any issues you might face. Like other universities across the country, Columbia has encountered serious challenges in the past year. Our new interim president, Katrina Armstrong, has announced  initiatives  to address these issues. My hope is that we come together to ensure that we promote an environment where we can all learn and thrive. If you’ve heard me talk in meetings or at events, you should recall my pointing to the University’s Affirmative Statement in the  Rules of University Conduct  as a reminder of why we are here: “... the University is a place for received wisdom and firmly held views to be tested, and tested again, so that members of the University community can listen, challenge each other, and be challenged in return.” Let us remember this statement as we take flight into this new academic year. Sincerely, Troy
