Points of credit to be approved by the department. Requires submission of an outline of the proposed research for approval by the faculty member who is to supervise the work of the student. The research facilities of the department are available to qualified students interested in advanced study.
Open only to graduate students in the basic medical science departments. Prerequisite: course directors permission. Current research in pathology and pathobiology. Conferences and invited speakers. Assigned readings.
Prerequisites: high-quality work in the previous term. Arrangements must be made with the director of graduate studies. Tutorial work in specialized research topics.
This two-semester course aims to help our students acquire the foundational skills for a
successful and satisfying professional life. The course will consist of three themes:
1) Discussing greatest hits and frontiers in the field
2) The research process, using the projects that participating students are currently
working on.
3) Navigating science and careers: considering the people and institutions that make up the
field, the frameworks in place that support them and the culture that pervades them;
career pathways
TBD
Students are required to carry out independent research under the direction of a faculty member of the Doctoral Subcommittee on Nutrition.
Internships are an integral part of the student experience at SIPA. Students in most of the MPA and MIA degree programs are required to register for and conduct an internship as part of their academic coursework. Still, all students are encouraged to explore internships as part of their education and career development. Students can register for a maximum of three internship credits toward their degree. Students who wish to earn internship credit for non-research internships will register for
SIPA U9013
in the fall or spring semesters. Note: SIPA does not permit registration for internship credit during the summer term. Students completing their internship during the summer months and wishing to earn academic credit must register in the Fall or Spring semester.

Columbia faculty and guest speakers present research related to Labor and Public Economics.
HRSMA students may receive one academic credit for the completion of a relevant internship. The credit would count towards the elective requirement for the degree. In order to receive one credit, students will be required to complete a total of 100 internship hours. The internship must be professional in nature and substantively focused on human rights or social justice. For more information, students should refer to the HRSMA Digital Handbook.
Leading health systems that promote population health and deliver high-quality yet efficient health care is a national and global priority. Health systems must learn to improve and innovate, and leaders at the helm of these systems must navigate change and complexity. As future leaders, you will be central to influencing these systems, whether from a position of formal or informal authority. Today, leading health systems effectively requires self-awareness, as well as an understanding of how people and groups behave in organizations. The context in which you work – public health, global health, or health care- presents special challenges and opportunities.
This course is designed to give DrPH students a strong foundation in the managerial and organizational behavior issues associated with leading health systems. The course aims to build management, teamwork, and interpersonal skills that may be put into practice. Concepts from the discipline of managerial and organizational behavior (MOB) will be used as a lens to interpret and understand current health system issues. Students should complete the course with an appreciation of the unique organizational and interpersonal aspects of their context, and with the capacity to understand their unique value to solving some of our most pressing health challenges. The course is designed to allow students to reflect on and apply lessons drawn from personal leadership experience in health systems.
Prerequisites: the director of graduate studies permission if taking more than 3 points of study with any one faculty member. Individual writing on a topic agreed upon by the supervising faculty member.
The Course considers questions of Mission and Vision ("What areas, activities, or business(es) should we be in?") and questions of Strategy and Operations ("How can we perform or compete effectively in this area?"). It covers both strategy formulation ("What should our strategy be?") as well as strategy implementation ("What do we need to do to make this strategy work?"). The Course also addresses additional issues that are critical to the strategic management "process" (e.g. designing planning systems, managing contention, analyzing market context) are considered. We will build the foundation based on “macro” theories of strategic management (i.e., theories focused on organization and firm level decisions).
Open only to graduate students in the Department of Pharmacology doing dissertation research.
Open only to graduate students in the Department of Pathology. Prerequisite: instructors permission.

The Sociology Frontiers Graduate Student Workshop is intended for Sociology graduate students and will run in conjunction with the newly instituted Sociological Frontiers Colloquium.It will provide an opportunity for students to read and discuss the works presented in theFrontiers Colloquium, which will meet 7 times over the course of the 2024-2025 academic year (3 times in the Fall and 4 times in the Spring) while also sharing and refining their own works in progress. The Frontiers Workshop will meet on the same day as the Frontiers Colloquium.Students who enroll in the Frontiers Workshop are expected to attend both the colloquium and the workshop.The first half of the student workshop consists of attending theFrontiers Colloquium.The Frontiers Colloquiumis sponsored by Columbia University’s Sociology Department and will bring leading sociologists who are doing cutting-edge research to speak to faculty and students in the department.The speaker list for this year will be announced in August 2024
Candidates for the M.S. degree may conduct an investigation of some problem in biomedical engineering. No more than 6 points in this course may be counted for graduate credit.
