Academic Programs in Paris

Columbia Global Center Paris is home to a number of credit-bearing and non-credit-bearing programs for students.

Columbia’s undergraduate programs at Reid Hall began in 1972, followed in 1986 by the GSAPP Shape of Two Cities: New York / Paris program. The university's first and only master’s program conducted entirely in Paris was founded in 1993 as the M.A. in French Cultural Studies, now the M.A. in History and Literature.

These programs, which draw a large and diverse student population, are at the heart of the Paris Global Center.
