List of Columbia University people

Nobel laureates

As of October 2012, 82 Nobel laureates were affiliated with Columbia University.[1][2][3][4] 43 Nobel laureates are the alumni of Columbia University.[4] 19 of these alumni have also served on the faculty or staff of the university. There are 39 non-alumni Nobel laureates who have been in service—as faculty, research scientists, research or postdoctoral fellows—to the university. Columbia University does not count a visiting professor as one of its own. Only those Nobel laureates who have spent a year or more at the university are counted. If Nobel laureates who have spent less than a year at the university were counted, the number of Nobel laureates affiliated with Columbia would be 96, more than any other academic institution.[5] In addition, Columbia ranks third in the number of Nobel Laureates it has graduated compared to other institutions in the world, surpassed only by the University of Cambridge and Harvard University.
