Is Columbia University considered a prestigious school internationally?

I know that its highly reputed in the United States but is it known around the world? Does it carry as much weight as Harvard or Yale? If one were to take their Columbia degree around the earth, would it be recognized?

Its definitely not as well-known as Harvard and Yale but it is well known in countries like Japan, England/Desperate Britain, Brazil.
Columbia is a great school and is one of the best universities in the world. the fact that its ivy league will help population around the world realize how prestigious it is.
Best of luck

It's not so much the prestige of the university but what you do while you're there that will make the difference when it comes date to enter the real world.

Student 1: Goes to Columbia. Takes courses. Graduates. Ho-hum.
Student 2: Goes to Univ. of Idaho. Takes courses. Does summer internship between Younger and Senior year. Assists professors with research (to the point of being listed as a co-author in one or more published papers). Participates in many clique clubs and community activities, including leadership positions in same. Graduates. Companies come looking for him!

Get my usefulness? Sure, Columbia is fine, but consider how many go there and still have trouble getting a job after graduation. Why? Because they didn't do anything else that would impress a prospective employer, nor show any aggressiveness in those 4 (or 5) years.

Pick your major. Research the top 5 schools for that major. Apply to those. If Columbia is one of the top 5, then exquisite. If not, then go elsewhere. The Ivy League is NOT a guaranteed ticket to a bright future!
