Degrees Offered » Ed.M.

The Master of Education (Ed.M.) degree serves a comparable function to the M.A. program, but is designed either for students who desire a more extended, intensive graduate experience, or for students who already have one or more graduate degrees and who wish to pursue study in Philosophy and Education.

Students in the Ed.M program must complete a minimum of 60 points of credit. Certain other courses in the College may be applicable to these requirements. 30 of the required 60 points can be met through prior graduate study (previous graduate work is reviewed by program faculty for purposes of assigning credit toward the Ed.M. degree).

In both the M.A. and Ed.M. programs, students conclude their course of study by completing a masters degree project under the supervision of a faculty adviser.

Note: "G.S.A.S." is the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences at Columbia University, which includes, for example, Columbia's Department of Philosophy.
