HEC Paris and Columbia University have introduced an innovative double degree program, granting students a Master in Management from HEC Paris and a Master of Arts in Climate and Society from Columbia University.
Shared Vision
The program’s creation stemmed from the joint commitment of both institutions to address global climate and environmental challenges. It combines hard sciences, business policy, social sciences, and an international perspective.
Program Structure
Students can complete the double degree in 2-3 years. The program begins at HEC Paris, with two tracks: one covering four full-time semesters, and the other just two full-time semesters. HEC Paris emphasizes general business content, quantitative skills, and environmental and social responsibility.
Gap Year
After their first year at HEC Paris, students embark on a gap year to gain work experience, preparing them for the next phase at Columbia’s Climate School.
Columbia’s Climate School
At Columbia University, students spend three semesters in New York City, focusing on interdisciplinary problem-solving to address the climate crisis.
Unique Opportunity
This double degree program is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for those interested in sustainability, equipping them with diverse skills and knowledge across various disciplines, and fostering connections with future leaders.
HEC Paris and Columbia University’s collaboration offers a unique platform to address global climate and environmental challenges, making it a distinctive option for sustainability-focused education.
