Columbia University (SPS / Climate School) · New York, United States · Official page ↗
The professional-school workhorse of Columbia's sustainability offerings, co-run by the School of Professional Studies and the Climate School: 36 points across five curriculum areas, taken full-time in around 16 months or part-time over years by the working New York sustainability crowd who make up much of the classroom — practitioner-taught, evening-scheduled, and unapologetically management-first.
Verified Sep 2026: USD 2,850 per point for summer 2026 to spring 2027, so USD 102,600 for the 36-point programme, same rate for domestic and international students. Mandatory per-term fees (student activities, university services, health, technology) and one-off document and orientation fees are extra; international students pay a further USD 175 per term. Full-time or part-time.
Fees and deadlines change every year: always confirm them on the official page before applying.
