Columbia-Barnard-Juilliard Programs

Exceptionally talented Columbia College students have access to instrumental and voice instruction at Juilliard. For information on the two programs, described below, contact Ryan Baber (prb2101@columbia.edu or 212-854-1975). Students should also refer to information available on the Juilliard website.

There are two different programs:

1. Students can cross-register for instrumental and vocal instruction with the Juilliard Faculty at no additional charge after completing the formal application process and successfully auditioning.

2. Students can participate in a joint degree program that offers them the opportunity to earn the B.A. and the M.M. in five years. To apply, Columbia College students must have completed 94 points of coursework, including the Core Curriculum requirements and major or concentration requirements. Students then apply to Juilliard, audition at Juilliard in their Junior year, and, if accepted, enter Juilliard in their Senior year. Students accepted into this program will spend their Senior year as well as the following year living in the Juilliard dormitories. Those receiving Columbia financial aid will be subject to Juilliard's financial aid policies during their time at Juilliard.
