M.S. Earth Resources EngineeringProgram Director: Marco Castaldi – mc2352@columbia.edu – (212) 854-6390 Program Coordinator: Gary Hill – gh2206@columbia.edu - (212) 854-2926 Department Administrator: Peter Rennée - pr99@columbia.edu – (212) 854-7065 Admission Deadline: Fall - February 15 Spring – October 1 Program website: http://www.engineering.columbia.edu/bulletin/dept/earth.php Mission The M.S. ERE program is designed for engineers and scientists who plan to pursue, or are already engaged in, environmental management/development careers. The focus of the program is the environmentally sound development and processing of resources (minerals, energy, and water) and the recycling or proper disposal of used materials. The program also includes technologies for assessment and remediation of past damage to the environment. Students can choose a pace that allows them to complete the M.S. ERE requirements while being employed. M.S. ERE graduates are specially qualified to work for engineering, financial, and operating companies engaged in mining and mineral processing ventures, the environmental industry, environmental groups in all industries, and for city, state, and federal agencies responsible for the environment and energy/resource conservation. Details of these concentrations, including suggested and required classes for each concentration, are available from the department.
Program Requirements For students with a B.S. in engineering, at least 30 points (ten courses) are required. For students with a B.S. or a B.A., preferably with a science major, up to 48 points (total of sixteen courses) may be required for make-up courses. A number of concentrations are available for the M.S.E. ERE, and students may choose courses that match their interests and career plans. These areas include:
Other Required CoursesDepending on the student’s background, other courses will be required upon recommendation of the advisor. M.S. Thesis/M.S. EssayM.S. candidates are required to carry out a research project and write a master's thesis worth 3-6 points.

Application Priority Deadline: March 1st Admissions Decisions: April 15th Program website: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/climatesociety/ Mission The twelve-month M.A. Program in Climate and Society trains professionals and academics to understand and cope with the impacts of climate variability and climate change on society and the environment. This rigorous program emphasizes the problems of developing societies. Students complete the program in three semesters: autumn, spring, and summer. Columbia is at the forefront of research on climate and climate applications, and is supported by an extensive network of research units and faculty. Drawing on the educational and research facilities of Columbia University, the M.A. Program in Climate and Society combines elements of established programs in Earth sciences, Earth engineering, international relations, political science, sociology, and economics with unique classes in interdisciplinary applications specially designed for the program’s students. A set of tailor-made core courses provide a scientific basis for inquiry and stress interdisciplinary problem solving. At the end of twelve intensive and rewarding months, graduates are prepared to address environmental issues from positions in government, business, teaching, and non-governmental organizations. Others continue their academic careers in the social or natural sciences. Admission Requirements
Note: Earlier submission of applications is encouraged for full consideration for financial aid. Program Requirements This is a twelve-month program: students begin study as a cohort in the fall semester. To provide a common set of skills and a shared professional working knowledge, there is a significant component of core courses. All students in the program take part in the core courses. Electives are chosen in consultation with an academic advisor. All students participate in the Summer Seminar and have a choice between a local internship and a thesis. Thirty points of credits are required for the M.A.
Possible Electives Students have a wide variety of electives from which to choose; below are just a few. After consulting with the faculty advisor, each student selects one social science elective in the fall semester and three electives from any relevant discipline in the spring semester.
