Back to Curriculum

The Development Management Focus will allow students to center their EPD coursework on management, finance and leadership in international development.  Students interested in development management may also want to refer to the MPA course listings and Teachers College’s Organization and Leadership Development Program.

The courses listed below are pre-approved (in other words they are courses that students have taken in the past to meet the professional focus requirement). Keep in mind that not all of these courses are offered each year, nor is this an exhaustive list. Therefore, consult the appropriate course bulletins/Registration Guide for up-to-date information.  Remember that you are encouraged to take advantage of courses at Columbia’s other graduate schools. Go to their website to find out about relevant courses.
