Student Stories

The Masters Direct Entry program is designed to teach nursing students more about real-world experiences and scenarios.

Josefina Streeter was drawn to the program due to its interdisciplinary nature and rigorous scientific foundation.

"This Rio Center internship is a great chance to excel and push me out of my local context to approach the global context."

Schools included law, arts, business, journalism, climate, professional studies, health, international and public affairs, and Teachers College.

"I have learned how to do market research, overcome language barriers and uncover not-readily-available information."

"Looking back on my college experience at Columbia University, I can confidently say that the journey has been nothing short of transformative."

"Columbia has provided me with a plethora of opportunities to explore, the courage to experiment, and the fortitude to learn from one's failures."

"I am extremely appreciative of this valuable opportunity to combine my academic interests and affinity for the arts."

"This internship has incentivized me to uncover different dimensions of Columbia previously unbeknownst to me."

Growing up in a refugee community in Pakistan, Shabnam Fayyaz never dreamed that years later she would graduate from Columbia University.
