Joint Bachelor's Degree Program between City University of Hong Kong and Columbia University
The Joint Bachelor's Degree Program between City University of Hong Kong and Columbia University offers students an international undergraduate educational experience – a program spanning two continents, in cosmopolitan cities that allow students to engage directly with the world around them. The program draws upon elements both traditional and innovative, combining the academic rigor of two world-renowned universities with an attention to the roles that social and cultural traditions play in a student’s intellectual formation.
By offering two distinct learning environments, the Joint Bachelor's Degree Program seeks to present a variety of experiences that allow students to challenge themselves and develop a richly textured understanding of an increasingly globalized world. Students within the program will complete the undergraduate curricula of both City University of Hong Kong and Columbia University, alongside a uniquely diverse group of fellow students.

During a recent visit to Asia, Columbia GS leaders met with CityUHK partners to highlight the expansion of the Program and engage with prospective students.
Starting in Fall 2026, high school graduates can apply directly to the joint bachelor’s degree program and earn two degrees in four years, studying in both Hong Kong and New York.
