SIPA/Hertie School of Governance Dual Degree Program

Back to MPA Dual Degree Programs

Columbia University’s SIPA offers the opportunity to study in Berlin at the Hertie School of Governance (HSoG) and earn degrees from both SIPA and HSoG in the same amount of time it takes to earn one degree. Both MIA and MPA first year SIPA students may apply for the dual degree program for study in their second year. Upon completion of their program, they will obtain a Masters of Public Policy (MPP) degree from HSoG, as well as a Masters Degree from SIPA.

The language of instruction is English.

Students pay the tuition and fees at the school where they are in residence. Through the generous support of a donor, considerable funding is available for this program. Eligible candidates will be fully-funded for their cost of study in Berlin.

The Second Year concentrations at Hertie:

  1. European and International Governance
  2. Economics, Welfare and Sustainability
  3. Public Management
  4. Democracies: transition, consolidation, design alternatives
