Overview

Students in the Politics and Education program at Columbia University follow a core program of coursework and other learning experiences developed by the Politics & Education Program faculty and individually adjusted in consultation with an assigned advisor. Up to 30 points of transfer credits are accepted towards an Ed.M. degree but only upon approval of an assigned faculty advisor after the student is admitted. Most students in the program enroll in the M.A., but the Ed.M. sometimes is appropriate for applicants who already have a relevant graduate degree.
