The degrees of A.M. and Ph.D. are given to students who fulfil the requirements prescribed by the University Council. (For particulars, see Columbia University Bulletins of Information, Faculty of Political Science.) Any person not a candidate for a degree may attend any of the courses at any time by payment of a proportional fee. Four or five University fellowships of $650 each, the Schiff fellowship of $600, the Curtis fellowship of $600, the Garth fellowship in Political Economy of $650, and University scholarships of $150 each are awarded to applicants who give evidence of special fitness to pursue advanced studies. Several prizes of from $50 to $250 are awarded. The library contains about 360,000 volumes and students have access to other great collections in the city.
