哥伦比亚大学公共管理-硕士MPA专业情况及入学条件

Transcript: Applicants should scan and upload legible, digital copies of your transcripts from each college and university you have attended as a registered student. These may be unofficial transcripts. When scanning transcripts to upload, be sure to scan the reverse side of the transcripts if applicable or any additional pages that include comments on the grading system used. Transcripts not in English must be translated into English. We recommend using a high-quality scanner for this process. To mail transcripts to SIPA, you or your school should send the document, sealed in an envelope by the school's registrar, to: Columbia University | SIPA Office of Admissions and Financial Aid 514 West 113th Street New York, NY 10025 Curriculum Vitae: Standard RÉSUMÉ/CV Personal Statement: Please elaborate on why you have chosen to apply to the MIA/MPA program.

Thus, you will only be allowed to submit your official video response once. Detailed instrcutions may be found within the application form once you start an application for the current term.
