Admissions
Columbia Business School’s Executive MBA Program is designed for professionals with demonstrated career achievements and leadership ability. We draw students from all over the world and from a wide range of cultural, personal, and professional backgrounds. Students enter the program with an average of nine years of work experience and have expertise in industries ranging from banking and healthcare to law and media. What they all share is the common goal of deepening their impact on the world of business while strengthening their knowledge, skills, and professional network.
