Master of International Affairs/Master of Public Health in New York United States | Columbia University

Columbia's dual degree programs offer adaptable enrollment options that can vary by semester or academic year. However, students should note that SIPA financial assistance is exclusively applicable during semesters when attending SIPA and cannot be transferred to other Columbia schools under any conditions. During your time at Columbia, the institution you're enrolled with each semester will assess your financial aid qualifications, which may include scholarships, fellowships, assistantships, student loans, or Work Study opportunities. Dual degree candidates have equal access to SIPA funding as their non-dual degree counterparts. When registered at another Columbia school, it's crucial to stay informed about SIPA's relevant deadlines and processes. Leveraging Columbia University's extensive resources, SIPA provides multiple dual degree options with other schools within the university. These programs enable students to acquire complementary expertise alongside their International and Public Affairs studies, allowing them to earn two degrees more efficiently than pursuing them independently.
