List of Nobel laureates affiliated with Columbia University
This list of Nobel laureates affiliated with Columbia University comprehensively shows the alumni, faculty members as well as researchers of Columbia University who were awarded the Nobel Prize or the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. The Nobel Prizes, established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel, are awarded to individuals who make outstanding contributions in the fields of Chemistry, Literature, Peace, Physics, and Physiology or Medicine.[1] An associated prize, the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel (commonly known as the Nobel Prize in Economics), was instituted by Sweden's central bank, Sveriges Riksbank, in 1968 and first awarded in 1969.[2]
As of October 2020, 96 Nobel laureates have been affiliated with Columbia University, and 84 of them are officially listed as "Columbia's Nobel Laureates" by the university.[3] Among the 96 laureates, 69 are Nobel laureates in natural sciences;[lower-alpha 1] 44 are Columbia alumni (graduates and attendees) and 33 have been long-term academic members of the Columbia faculty or Columbia-affiliated research organizations; and subject-wise, 32 laureates have won the Nobel Prize in Physics, more than any other subject.[lower-alpha 2] This list considers Nobel laureates as equal individuals and does not consider their various prize shares or if they received the prize more than once.
Inclusion criteria
General rules
The affiliations of Columbia University in this list include all the official academic affiliations such as official academic employment and degree programs of the university. The official academic affiliations include alumni (graduates and attendees), long-term faculty members, and short-term academic staff.
Graduates are defined as those who hold bachelor's, master's, doctorate, or equivalent degrees from Columbia University, while attendees are those who formally enrolled in a degree program at Columbia, but did not complete the degree program or obtain a formal degree. Honorary degrees, posthumous degrees, summer attendees, exchange students, and auditing students are excluded. Those who hold certificates or studied as non-degree students at Columbia are also excluded.
The long-term faculty members consist of tenure or tenure-track and equivalent academic positions, while short-term academic staff consist of lecturers (without tenure), postdoctoral researchers (postdocs), visiting professors or scholars (visitors), and equivalent academic positions. At Colubmia University, the specific academic title solely determines the type of affiliation, regardless of the actual time the position was held by a laureate.
Further explanations on "visitors" under "Short-term Academic Staff" are presented as follows. 1) All informal or personal visits are excluded from the list; 2) all employment-based visiting positions, which carry teaching or research duties, are included as affiliations in the list; 3) as for award or honor-based visiting positions, to minimize controversy this list takes a conservative view and includes the positions as affiliations only if the laureates were required to assume employment-level duty (teaching or research) or the laureates specifically classified the visiting positions as "affiliation" or similar in reliable sources such as their curriculum vita. To be specific, visiting positions such as the "Ingeborg Rennert Professorship", "Global Fellowship" of SIPA and "Earnest Kempton Adams (EKA) Lectureship" at Columbia are awards or honors or recognition without employment-level duty, and thus are excluded from this list.[4][5][6][7] In particular, the EKA Fund was established in 1904, enabling Columbia to invite scientists to deliver a series of public lectures.[7][8] Attending meetings and giving public lectures, talks or non-curricular seminars at Columbia is not a form of employment-level duty.
Affiliates during the Manhattan Project who specifically worked for the military are excluded from this list. Finally, summer visitors are generally excluded from the list unless summer work yielded significant end products such as research publications and components of Nobel-winning work, since summer terms are not part of formal academic years.

Affiliated organizations
This list does not include Nobel-winning organizations or any individuals affiliated with those organizations. It also doesn't include affiliates of institutions that later merged and became part of Columbia University.
- Official academic affiliates of Barnard College after 1900 (inclusive) and official academic affiliates of Bard College by 1944 are included in the list.[18][19]
- Official academic affiliates of the Mary Imogene Bassett Hospital are included in the list.[20][21]
Summary
All types of affiliations, namely alumni, long-term and short-term academic staff, count equally in the following table and throughout the whole page.[lower-alpha 3]
In the following list, the number following a person's name is the year they received the prize; in particular, a number with asterisk (*) means the person received the award while they were working at Columbia University (including emeritus staff).[lower-alpha 4] A name underlined implies that this person has already been listed in a previous category (i.e., multiple affiliations).
