Since 1901, when the awards were first given, 79 Columbians—including alumni, faculty, adjunct faculty, researchers and administrators—have won a Nobel Prize at some point in their careers. These distinguished scientists, statesmen and authors have won prizes in every field in which an award is given. The University's current faculty includes nine Nobel laureates. For additional information about them and other Columbia Nobel winners, visit the president's five-year report site and the Columbia 250th anniversary website.
