Columbia University Courses and Fees 2025

• Yes, the course curriculum is tough, as four subjects per semester get very hectic.
• The courses are inclined more towards theoretical knowledge.
• Classes are 1.5 hours long and typically two classes in a day are scheduled. Most classes have 80-100 students
• There would be around 30-40 Indian students in a batch of 200 students in the MSCS program.

• The fee is semester wise and for each semester, it's around $34000, which includes tuition fees, health insurance and college activity fees.
• The tuition fees are credit-based, around $2500 and in every semester a student should complete 12 credits minimum.
• Monthly expenses range from $1800-$2000 which includes rent, groceries, utility bills and transportation.

• There are online platforms like Zillow that we used to find suitable units. We had to go through an agent, had to pay a deposit and agency fee and had to have a guarantor. A recommendation would be to join the whatsapp communities as early as possible.
• Most people would be looking for people to room with, and the process would go a lot smoother with other people to help you out.

The eligibility for the program is minimum GPA requirements (varies by program, but typically 3.0 or higher). The number of credits required by master of science programs at my school is the typical range of 30-45 credits. It has added value to my academics by enhancing my knowledge and expertise, specialized courses and cutting-edge research opportunities deepen my understanding and skills in the field.

The mode and terms of fees payment are through online payment through my school website and wire transfer. Grants is one need base funding including federal Pell grants with institutional grants and assistantships, teaching or research positions, offering stipends and tuition waivers.

The course syllabus was a combination of engineering, quantitative classes, and more interactive, practical business school classes. We worked on 3 projects, as part of our curriculum, giving us exposure to a real life consulting project.

$2000 per credit, and 38 credits were required to graduate. So, a total of $76K for just the course fees.

The course curriculum is hectic I would say, as the program is structured for 1.5 years only. The syllabus is industry oriented and updated to current trends(chatgpt is included in the syllabus).

$92,000

The quality of course curriculum is good. The curriculum is relevant to the industry. As a part of one of the courses we get to directly work on an industry project for one whole semester. I felt sql and reporting tools are not discussed in depth in any courses till date, including these would make students a better fit for the market.

For a 3 semester course it would be around 75 Lakhs INR

Very strong overall, and extremely rigorous in the engineering school. Calculus, physics, chemistry, economics, and introductory programming are all required for first-year students. Industrial experience is provided in the special Art of Engineering course.

Full tuition is $80,000 if you are not offered any need-based financial aid

The course syllabus is quite updated and there are industrial projects as well. Some of the courses as part of the core curriculum are pretty basic and are not worth spending as much.

$72000 for the entire program fees (1.5 years)

The courses are very practical and industry relevant. In general, the students have full flexibility to choose courses and it is up to us to choose an industry based course or a research course. I am personally doing industry relevant courses in deep learning.

One credit as of 2021 costs $2200. MS students are expected to complete 30 credits to be eligible for getting their degree.

Course is very rigorous. There are very less courses in which you feel you did not gain much. All other courses you will have to put a lot of effort and you will feel that you have gained a lot from the course.

Per credit : 2250$. Total 30 credits.
