Recruitment

We are committed to promoting a collaborative learning environment for anyone interested in finance, regardless of experience level and field of study.

Thank you for your interest in Columbia Alpha Partners. Applicants will receive updates regarding the next steps in the recruitment process by email.

Explore each division’s page and speak with our members to find the best fit for your interests. You can switch divisions after being accepted into CAP, so your initial choice does not have to be permanent. Regardless of division, all CAP members are welcome to attend education programs and division meetings across the organization at their discretion.
CAP typically welcomes 12-15 new members in each division each year, allowing us to maintain a close-knit community and provide each member with individualized mentorship, recruiting support, and opportunities for involvement.
Absolutely! CAP hosts a number of open events throughout the year for the broader Columbia and Barnard community, including speaker events, industry events, competitions, and selected workshops. Membership is not required to participate in these open events.
You are welcome to apply to multiple divisions. However, we recommend only one division so that you can devote your time to demonstrating a strong and genuine interest in that division. If selected for an interview, you will proceed through the recruitment process for only one division, which we will determine based on where we believe you are the best fit.
