SIPA offers eight rigorous degree programs that blend analytical methods with practical management skills, preparing graduates to address complex global issues. Students combine these core competencies with a specialized policy focus and typically culminate their studies with a practice-oriented capstone or workshop. Leveraging the vast resources of New York City and Columbia University, SIPA maintains a global reach, with 50 percent of our student body hailing from international backgrounds, 24,000 alumni in over 160 countries, and partnerships with educational institutions in major global cities such as London, Paris, Berlin, Singapore, Beijing, Mexico City, and São Paulo.
SIPA’s mission is to support the global public interest by educating students to serve and lead, and by producing and sharing new knowledge on critical public policy challenges. Our dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion is integral to our mission, ensuring a respectful and welcoming environment for our diverse community.
