The antidote to crisis Is innovation.

Master of Science in Carbon Management from Columbia University

The future of energy continues with you

While more than 2 billion people have been working themselves out of poverty, world energy demand has been growing rapidly. The management and abatement of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emission and access to secure and plentiful energy remain two of the biggest and interconnected challenges currently faced by humanity with implications for climate change, economic development, and ecosystem stability. To meet these challenges, the Master of Science in Carbon Management (MCM) program has been created to provide a unique educational experience for students with a wide range of backgrounds and different career paths.

Help Solve the Global Warming Crisis

“It’s motivating to be surrounded by such driven peers who challenge and support each other, both academically and personally. The network of friends and colleagues I’ve built at Columbia University is something I truly value, and I know it will be one of the most lasting aspects of my time here.”

“Earning my master’s in New York City at Columbia University has enriched my graduate school experience in many ways. NYC is a major tech hub that offers abundant career opportunities and exposure to cutting-edge developments in data science and technology. This environment has broadened my perspective and provided unique opportunities for personal growth, making my experience at Columbia even more dynamic and fulfilling.”

“I wanted to be part of a school and community that cared about making a tangible difference through engineering, and that’s what my experience at Columbia University gave me”

"Engineering for Humanity" means to engineer and solve problems for the greater good, or to engineer with purpose. The underlying impetus for all research at Columbia University to improve health outcomes for all patients and make the world a better place. This is evident through the coursework and in the labs. We are learning real-world, impactful things and identifying what the unmet needs are and how we can meet them”
