Academics

At Columbia Business School, we’re more than just business. We’re a community of leaders, teaming up to take on the world’s toughest challenges. We’re testing cutting-edge theory against real-world experience. We infuse our values in everything we do, and are always creating lasting impact. Because the businesses of tomorrow won’t look like the businesses today — and neither will their leaders.

You want to grow in your career, but you have a full slate of responsibilities.

The Columbia Executive MBA understands your realities. It prepares you to accelerate your career potential, bring game-changing ideas forward, and prepare for a shifting global economy — all while staying in your current job. Here’s how:

  • Classes are held on weekends or in block-week formats. Select from options that suit your lifestyle.
  • Our comprehensive core curriculum builds a foundation for success in any business. Electives allow you to specialize or explore new arenas.
  • Renowned full-time professors inspire you through academic excellence. Impressive adjuncts bridge theory with real-time business practice.
  • A community awaits you — both in class and among the 40,000-plus supportive alumni who will serve as a network for years to come.

The Executive MBA is the same MBA that full-time students earn. Everyone follows the exact same curriculum and spends an equal number of hours in class.

If not now, when? The Executive MBA was created for high-achievers like you. Don’t defer your dream. Go forward.
