A new field course this coming fall from Columbia’s M.S. in Sustainability Management program aims to dive into the world of green industrial policy through hands-on learning in China. In Green Industrial Policy: Field Course in Zhejiang, China, students will combine on-campus class time with a nine-day field tour to government agencies and companies in the clean energy economy. Students will spend the fall semester on campus, with travel to Zhejiang Province, China, taking place in January during the break between the fall and spring semesters. Located along China’s coastline, Zhejiang Province is home to the major cities of Hangzhou and Ningbo and is bordered by the megacity of Shanghai, making it an excellent location for studying China’s economy, policy, and development.
M.S. in Sustainability Management program director Steven Cohen, and professors Satyajit Bose and Guo Dong share insight into the course.
