Just in time for New York City’s Climate Week, the Columbia Climate School is proud to announce a new master’s degree program: the M.S. in Climate. This is a two-year, 50-credit degree that will prepare young and mid-career professionals and future academics to be climate leaders at community, state, national and international levels. The first cohort will begin classes in fall 2025.
The new degree program expands the scope of what the Climate School can offer students, while allowing them to explore important new opportunities within the climate sector.
“The M.S. in Climate program is a critical new offering that will expand Climate School educational opportunities, as taught by some of the most highly qualified scholars of climate,” said Jeffrey Shaman, interim dean of the Climate School. “It will seed the world with energetic, superbly trained, transdisciplinary scholars who will help tackle the many climate and sustainability challenges we are confronting.”
