Overview
The Master of Public Administration in Environmental Science and Policy trains sophisticated public managers and policymakers, who apply innovative, systems-based thinking to environmental issues. The program challenges students to think systemically and act pragmatically. To meet this challenge, we offer a high-quality graduate program in management and policy analysis that emphasizes practical skills and is enriched by ecological and planetary science.
Our approach reflects the system-level thinking that is needed to understand ecological interactions and maintain the health of Earth’s interconnected ecological, institutional, economic, and social systems.
Graduates are creating a new profession of earth systems problem-solvers: individuals who are prepared for leadership positions in local, state, and federal government agencies, as well as in nonprofit organizations and the environmental divisions of private corporations. They are also well suited for designing cost-effective programs and implementing policies. Most importantly, a deep understanding of earth systems informs their work, allowing them to craft the kinds of solutions necessary for our increasingly complex environmental problems.
Admission
Admission to the School of International and Public Affairs is competitive, based in large part on academic excellence and professional focus. The applicant must have a bachelor’s degree or evidence of equivalent preparation as determined by the director of admissions. Undergraduate work should include courses in economics. At the very least, students should also have taken chemistry and biology at the level taught in high school. We advise those lacking an economics background and a basic understanding of chemistry and biology to make up these deficiencies before entering the program.
Applicant to SIPA’s Environmental MPA program are accepted for the summer term that begins in late May/early June.
Fellowships
The School of International and Public Affairs and The Earth Institute at Columbia University award a limited number of fellowship/scholarship grants to incoming students on the basis of merit and need.
