COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY

columbia
LOCATION: New York City
SPECIALTIES: The program is interdisciplinary, but applicants apply to either painting, printmaking, sculpture, photography, or "new genres"
TUITION:
 $51,676 TIME TO DEGREE: 2 years

NOTABLE FACULTY: 
Gregory AmenoffSanford Biggers, Nicola Lopez, Rirkrit TiravanijaKara Walker

FAMOUS ALUMNI: Jon Kessler, Korakrit Arunanondchai, Georgia Sagri, Guy Ben-Ner, Lisi Raskin

BIGGEST SELLING POINT: As with many of the Ivies, in Columbia's case, self-perpetuating exclusivity plays a major part here: only two percent of applicants to Columbia's MFA in the visual arts are accepted. As of fall 2013, the highly selective program also offers a degree in Sound Art—so if that medium's your thing, this is the place for you. Also, if you're looking to enter the art profession, it doesn't hurt to spend your formative years of training in the artistic capital of the world.
