The Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism is the only journalism school in the Ivy League, founded in 1912 by Joseph Pulitzer. The school is located at Pulitzer Hall, located at the university's Morningside Heights campus in Manhattan, New York City.
Admissions to the school are highly selective; traditionally drawing upon an international student body. Alumni have gone on to win Pulitzer Prizes, or have become newsroom leaders in respected publications. The journalism school offers four graduate degree programs, in addition to offering professional development programs, fellowships, workshops and institutes, namely the Tow Center for Digital Journalism, the Brown Institute for Media Innovation, and the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma.
The school publishes the Columbia Journalism Review, facilities with the Pulitzer Prizes, and directly administers the Alfred I. duPont–Columbia University Award, the Maria Moors Cabot Prizes, the John Chancellor Award for Excellence in Journalism, the Lukas Prizes, the Oakes Prizes, the Meyer Berger Award, the Paul Tobenkin Memorial Award and the Dart Awards for Excellence in Coverage of Trauma. It also co-sponsors the National Magazine Awards with the American Society of Magazine Editors, which administers the program. The school has an accreditation from the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication.
