Does it field a women’s basketball team?
Yes. Columbia University in the City of New York reported 13 women’s basketball participants in the Equity in Athletics return it filed for 2025-26. That is the institution’s own count of the squad, not a roster page Athlavia has read, and it is the figure the United States Department of Education publishes.
It competes in NCAA Division I, and no conference affiliation is recorded here. It is one of 21 NCAA DI women's basketball programmes in New York, out of 130 programmes there in total.
Can it award a basketball scholarship?
NCAA Division I rules permit athletically-related student aid.
NCAA DI rules allow athletic aid, but no figure has been recorded for this institution. That is an absence of evidence rather than evidence of absence: ask the coaching staff directly what is available for basketball.
What it costs and what it is like
A published cost is held for 2023-24: tuition, mandatory fees, room and board, insurance and a travel estimate, with the international tuition rate separately where the institution publishes one.
A single yearly total tells a family almost nothing. What decides whether a place is reachable is which line is the big one, and whether the international rate differs — so Athlavia shows the lines, not a headline.

How it compares
Across the 356 NCAA DI women’s basketball programmes in this database, the average listed squad is 17 players. Columbia University in the City of New York lists 13, 4 players below that average. Among the 21 NCAA DI programmes in New York, it has the 18th largest listed squad.
Squad size is a fact about the return, not a judgement about the programme. A large squad can mean depth or it can mean a long bench; a small one can mean minutes are available or that the roster is already settled. It is a question to ask a coach, not an answer.

Every stored fact carries the source it came from, the date it was read and how it was extracted. Figures shown on this page without a row above are recorded with the source on the record itself — the athletic aid figure, for instance, carries the Department of Education’s athletics site as its source.
