The Columbia Climate School has announced the launch of two new interdisciplinary degree programs that will blend climate science with training in finance and engineering, respectively.
The first, a one-year master’s program in climate finance offered in partnership with Columbia Business School, combines coursework in climate science, international finance, capital markets, and energy and infrastructure financing. Designed to meet the growing demand for professionals who can assess financial risks posed by climate change and develop strategic responses, the program prepares graduates for roles in both the private and public sectors.
The second offering, a dual-degree program with Columbia Engineering, will equip students with the expertise to develop and implement innovative carbon-
management solutions. The two-year program covers carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies and prepares graduates for careers as climate-policy analysts, carbon-market specialists, climate-risk managers, and renewable-energy consultants.
Both programs will welcome their first cohorts this fall.
