So You Want to Study Abroad
Before applying to the MBA Exchange Program, please carefully review the eligibility requirements and how to apply. Each partner school has different regulations and offerings. Please thoroughly research the schools that you are interested in and contact the Chazen Institute if you have additional questions.
Things to Consider
- CBS MBA students can participate in exchange programs during their 2nd year, only during their third or fourth term.
- Applications are not binding- applicants will be notified if they have been given a spot and then decide if they accept. There will be another deadline for committing before students are nominated to their host schools.
- Candidates must have completed all core course requirements and have a solid academic record with a minimum GPA of 5.5 before the exchange semester to be eligible.
- Dual-degree students are not eligible to study abroad.
- Participating students pay tuition and fees to Columbia University and are responsible for all travel, accommodations, books, and miscellaneous expenses related to exchange programs (check factsheets.)
