Columbia University - Graduate School of Arts and Sciences
About
The prehistory of Columbia’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS) begins with the founding of King’s College in 1754, located first at Trinity Church in downtown Manhattan and then at Park Place and Church Street, where it stayed for nearly a century. The entering class comprised eight students who followed a curriculum principally focused on Latin and Greek. In 1857, Columbia College—as it was renamed following the American Revolution—moved uptown to 49th Street and Madison Avenue. Concurrently, the Board of Trustees began to offer a curriculum leading to a master’s degree in letters, science, or jurisprudence, presaging the rapid diversification of Columbia’s offerings that would soon follow.
