The numbers tell part of the story. More than 800 organizations — across industries, in countries around the world — have sponsored one or more students at Columbia Business School.
Why sponsor? Many companies value the relevant, rigorous curriculum that focuses on real business issues. The stellar reputation of Columbia faculty is also a factor. And let’s face it: Success is contagious. When executives are motivated to learn, excel, and solve some of the biggest problems in business? Well, they bring that mindset — and new skills — back to the companies they work for.
Here are some of the companies that have discovered that sponsorship makes good business sense:
