Info on Columbia MA

[hopespringseternal]

Hi All,

I'm currently applying to the MA in Religion at Columbia University for Fall of 2018. Aside from the information given on the department's website and that of the results page on GradCafe, I was wondering if anyone's applied to it before (or is currently applying), knows of the acceptance rate/number of applications received, funding status (department claims "partial tuition awards are given"), and any other information?

I could be wrong but I think I read somewhere that the acceptance rate is largely around 60% for the MA since it's seen as a cash cow for the university. With the late deadline (generally a marker of a "Shit, I didn't get accepted anywhere!" school), partial funding, and also accepting of part-time students, I'd tend to think that the acceptance rate is fairly high.

Also am wondering what funding is available from Columbia's Religion M.A.
