Visiting Student Interns and Officers of Research
The Chazen Visiting Scholar Program at Columbia Business School provides support for CBS faculty who seek to host international doctoral candidates, faculty members, and business practitioners at Columbia to further their research and scholarship. A visiting appointment is a non-stipendiary position lasting a period of between one month and one year, with an option to extend for up to one additional year. The visiting scholar will receive Columbia University library access and borrowing privileges, a temporary Columbia University ID card and email address, and the option to audit up to two open courses per semester.
Please note: students seeking bachelor's or master's degrees are not eligible. |
Visitors must be sponsored by a faculty member at the Business School, who will serve as the scholar's academic adviser and provide guidance on the progress of the visitor's research. The faculty adviser should specialize in the same area as the prospective visitor.
Which Type of Visiting Scholar are You?
- Visiting Student Intern: visitors who are performing collaborative research with a faculty member and do not hold a PhD
- Officer of Research: visitors who are performing collaborative research with a faculty member and already hold a PhD
