At the heart of the program is the two-year dissertation, an original scholarly work based on empirical research and analysis.

 

Students spend the first year in New York and the second year in London and receive degrees from both institutions. Immersed in the vibrant intellectual communities of two of the world’s greatest cities, graduates develop life-long contacts on both sides of the Atlantic, using Columbia and LSE as launching pads for a wide range of careers in government, journalism, think tanks, NGOs, and academia.
