Candidates are encouraged to apply early as there are a limited number of Visiting Scholar appointments offered each year, and acceptance into the Program is competitive.
Please note that the Columbia University (and the Columbia Business School) academic calendar runs from September to May, with fall term between September and December and spring term between January and May. Though Visiting Scholars are not required to arrange their visit to CJEB to coincide within the Columbia academic year, many choose to do so in order to be able to audit classes and partake in University activities.
After receiving completed applications, the selection committee, chaired by Professors David Weinstein and Hugh Patrick, reviews all materials.
