QMSS Columbia, PhD destinations?

[alo93]

Hi, all--

 

Seriously considering going to QMSS at Columbia (and taking on quite  a lot of debt). 

 

I want to use this as a stepping stone for a PhD in Public Policy. 

 

Anyone know how graduates of this program do in terms of PhD placements? Schools/program type?

 

Thank you!!

I considered the QMSS program myself, and while I was in a doctoral program at Columbia I worked with a couple QMSS students (two came through my lab, and several others took classes with me). I don't know for certain, but my sense is that the graduates do pretty well in going to quantitative social sciences PhD programs (although the program does seem slightly more oriented towards QSS jobs in industry).
