Careers in Media
Columbia Business School students pursue careers within all segments of the media and entertainment industry including film and television, music, publishing, advertising & PR, sports management and technology. Alumni working in media can be found across the country and the world with the greatest concentration living and working in New York and Los Angeles.
Select media & entertainment companies participate in on-campus recruiting, but many media and entertainment organizations prefer to recruit MBAs through less formal channels such as job postings and networking. Each year the Career Resource Center posts hundreds of announcements for full-time positions, internships and part-time jobs on its password-protected student and alumni web sites. These job postings represent a variety of functional areas including:
- brand / marketing management
- strategic planning
- business development / sales
- corporate finance / M&A / treasury
- general management / operations
- accounting
