Trump visa policies weigh on Columbia journalism program as admissions pause
The school cited a critical curriculum review as international applications fell and said its new online M.S. will enroll students over two years.
- Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism has paused admissions to its Master of Arts programme for one year to review and redesign the degree.
- The decision was partly influenced by a sharp decline in international applications amid uncertainty over changing U.S. visa policies under the Trump administration.
- International students account for roughly half of the programme’s enrolment, making visa restrictions and immigration uncertainty particularly significant for the course.

- Columbia will continue admitting students to its Master of Science journalism programme and has introduced a two-year part-time online M.S. programme, while the M.A. is being reassessed amid broader changes in the journalism industry.
