Juilliard students are permitted to enroll in one Columbia class per semester, but you have to apply and be approved each semester to do so. My understanding is that not many Juilliard students take advantage of this due to scheduling difficulties and other factors. And I don’t believe that Columbia students are generally allowed to take courses at Juilliard, except through the exchange. </p>
<p>It’s true that Manhattan School of Music is just a couple of blocks away from Columbia, but there is no formal program or cross-registration opportunities between Columbia and Manhattan School (there is a formal program between Barnard and Manhattan School, but I don’t really know anything about it). My son has a number of friends at Manhattan School and performs and sessions with them fairly regularly, but it’s informal and entirely extra-curricular.</p>
<p>I should also have mentioned in my post above that I’m assuming OP is asking about this for applying next year. The Juilliard deadline is December 1, so it’s too late for this year. (And the prescreening material that’s required with the Juilliard application takes some fair amount of prep time, so it’s a good idea to start working on the required repertoire well in advance of the deadline.)</p>
