Programs in Social Enterprise at Columbia Business School Executive Education
Columbia Business School Executive Education's Programs in Social Enterprise applies business skills to the solution of social problems locally and throughout the world.
Led by Raymond D. Horton, Frank R. Lautenberg Professor of Ethics and Corporate Governance and founder of the Social Enterprise Program for MBA students, the Programs in Social Enterprise draw heavily on the resources of the School.
Making use of these resources — including the faculty, curriculum, and facilities — while retaining the ability to draw on New York City's rich supply of nonprofit, government, and business practitioners, allows Executive Education to offer a unique range of open enrollment and custom programs.
Program options are designed to address relevant topics such as emissions trading, alternative energy, and corporate social responsibility.
Through this portfolio, Columbia Business School Executive Education is able to serve its traditional base in New York City's community-based nonprofits, as well as other nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and businesses in the New York region, across the nation and the world.
Open enrollment programs include the Senior Leaders Program for Nonprofit Professionals for senior executives and The Developing Leaders Program for mid-level nonprofit professionals. The newest program, Carbon Finance and Management Strategies, is designed to educate senior executives who wish to understand emissions trading to formulate the strategy and action plan for their organizations.
Additionally, Programs in Social Enterprise provide various custom options. Selected clients include programs for Ariane de Rothschild Fellows, the Center for Curatorial Leadership, the Girl Scouts of America, and the King Khalid Foundation. Two long-standing programs serve the New York City government: the Police Management Institute and the Fire Department Officers Management Institute.
