M.A. / M.S. Earth and Environmental Science JournalismProgram Director: Kim Kastens – kastens@ldeo.columbia.edu - (845) 365-8836 Program Director: Marguerite Holloway – myh7@columbia.edu - (212) 854-9149 Admission Deadline: Graduate School of Journalism: December 15. Graduate School of Arts & Sciences: first working day in January. Program website: http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/edu/eesj/ Columbia University offers a dual master's degree program in Earth & Environmental Science Journalism. The program is co-sponsored by the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences). The goal of this program is to produce graduates with a rare blend of scientific knowledge and journalistic skills. Our graduates should be able to inform the public about discoveries, insights and ideas concerning the Earth and environment, in a manner that is simultaneously interesting and accurate. Our graduates should approach controversies about the Earth and environment with a broad and deep knowledge base, plus a well-honed set of investigative skills. The Earth and Environmental Science Journalism program comprises two semesters of coursework in science, a science research project, and two semesters of coursework in journalism. The science and journalism components of the program are linked through a "Case Studies in Earth and Environmental Science Journalism" seminar, and through the preparation of a master's project on an Earth-related issue. Graduates receive an M.A. from the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences (Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences) and an M.S. from the Graduate School of Journalism. Admission Requirements Earth & Environmental Science Journalism is a dual degree program, which means that participation in the program is contingent on admissions to both schools: The Graduate School of Journalism and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences). Requirements for admission to the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences:
Criteria for admission to the Graduate School of Journalism:
Programs Requirements Year 1: A minimum of 20 credits of Earth and Environmental Sciences; most E&ESJ students graduate with more. Course offerings vary from year to year. "Case Studies in Earth & Environmental Science Journalism" is required of all first year students in the E&ESJ degree program. In addition, first year students take Environmental Reporting or Science Narratives at the Journalism School during the fall. Earth Science Colloquium is required of all first year graduate students in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences.
Possible Science Courses for either Semester Any course at the 4000 level or higher in the Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences (EESC courses) may be used to fulfill the science coursework requirement. Some EESC courses are given in alternate years only. With permission of the E&ESJ program director, courses from other schools or departments may be counted towards the science coursework component of the E&ESJ degree. Appropriate science courses include, but are not limited to:
Summer: During the summer between the first and second years of study, the student will complete a scientific research project under the guidance of a scientist from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, or another unit of the Earth Institute. Students must prepare a ten-page master's paper based on their research project. Students present and defend their projects orally to their advisory committee scientists in September of their third semester.Year 2: Thirty credits of graduate work in journalism.Fall Semester: Note (1): Fall semester coursework at the Journalism School begins in mid-August. Note (2): Fall semester requirements differ slightly depending on media concentration.
