Founded in 1754, Columbia University is a private and comprehensive Ivy League university. Its 27-acre campus is located in the residential Morningside Heights section of Manhattan in New York City. Columbia has extensive graduate programs with over two-thirds of its student body as graduate students. Like other Ivy League schools, Columbia's high level of research and instruction has earned it membership in the Association of American Universities, and its strengths in the liberal arts and sciences earned it a chapter of the prestigious Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society.
