Development Economics...??

<p>Is Columbia the most optimal school in the states for studying development economics??
If so, what kind of occupations can one expect to try for with expertise in this field?
Plus, I heard that there is actually a course called "sustainable development" in Columbia. Is there really one?
If that is the case, what do you actually learn in the course?</p>

<p>Columbia has a sustainable development department: <a href=“Columbia College Bulletin < Columbia College | Columbia University”>Columbia College Bulletin < Columbia College | Columbia University;

<p>Columbia is also home to The Earth Institute, which is heavily involved in development economics research: <a href=“Mission - The Earth Institute - Columbia University”>Mission - The Earth Institute - Columbia University;
