The Knight-Bagehot Fellowship offers experienced journalists the opportunity to enhance their understanding of business and economics, finance and technology.
Fellows spend two semesters at Columbia Journalism School and take most of their classes at Columbia Business School. They meet weekly for off-the-record seminars and dinners with top journalists, entrepreneurs and corporate leaders.
In scope and depth, it is the most comprehensive and rigorous business journalism fellowship in the world. We accept up to 10 fellows each year.
Applications for the Class of 2026-27 are now open.
The deadline to apply is Saturday, Jan. 31, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern.
