Overview

Required coursework mirrors the requirements for the M.A. degree but gives students room to take more advanced courses in the economics and education concentration and related degree Programs

The objective of the Economics and Education program at Columbia University is to impart the comprehensive knowledge and skills required for the study of the linkages between education and economics in real world. Courses in the program provide a serious analytical benchmark for the analysis of financial and economic issues in education, in the United States and other countries.

The program allows a student to specialize in a number of areas including economic growth, immigration, higher education, privatization, and international education, but provides a foundation in economics and educational policy through courses that address these topics. This 60-point program is intended for individuals interested in the applications and practices in the economics of education. It is particularly suitable for individuals who already have a master’s degree and want additional coursework beyond the MA program but not the advanced training of the PhD program. The program is flexible and is designed by the student, under the guidance of the academic advisor.
