4. Columbia University Master of Arts in Climate and Society
Whatever the individual's interests, the overall goals of the
Climate and Society program are to impart students with an
understanding not only of the dynamics of climate events, but also
of how to reliably communicate the climate prediction to those who
are in the most need of it, such as farmers, governments, and
environmental offices. Students in this innovative program are given
the science and analytical skills to decipher complex climate
information and communicate it to decision makers on a regional
level, enhancing society's ability to plan and respond to climate events.

The core curriculum gives students a firm understanding of the
global and regional dynamics of climate change, knowledge of
statistical methods for evaluating the impacts of climate change, as
well as a familiarity with stakeholder politics and the policymaking
process to implement change.
