    Join us for a virtual information session about the Columbia Journalism School and Columbia Climate School's Dual Degree Program. During this session, representatives from the Offices of Admissions at both schools will provide an overview of the program's curriculum, covering both the Master of Science in Climate and the Master of Science in Journalism. We'll also walk you through the application process for both schools and discuss available student resources, including career support and learning communities.

    This 71-credit dual degree program, completed over two academic years, combines climate science, policy, and adaptation strategies with rigorous journalism training. Students begin their studies at Columbia Climate School, completing 34 credits over the fall and spring semesters of their first year in the MS in Climate program. In their second year, students transition to Columbia Journalism School, completing 37 credits over the fall and spring semesters in the MS in Journalism program, where they integrate their climate expertise into reporting, research, and storytelling.

    By combining a strong foundation in climate science with professional journalism skills, the program prepares graduates to investigate complex environmental challenges, translate scientific research into compelling narratives, and communicate climate issues to diverse audiences around the world.
