Countdown to Commencement 2023!
University Commencement of the 269th academic year will be webcast live on Wednesday, May 17, at 10:30 a.m. (EDT). Tune in to celebrate the accomplishments of this year's graduates.
School Ceremonies
Each of Columbia's nineteen schools and institutions conduct their own ceremony to honor the accomplishments of their graduating class. Sometimes called Class Day or Graduation Ceremony, these celebrations are typically smaller in size and more intimate than University Commencement.
Baccalaureate Service
The Baccalaureate Service is a multifaith service celebrating the completion of each undergraduate's academic career from Columbia College, The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, the School of General Studies, and Barnard College.
