The Media and Technology Program is guided by a leadership team with equally deep ties to industry and academia. Our curriculum has been built to utilize the strengths and broad reach of Columbia Business School's full-time faculty and adjunct professors. The Program also benefits from the expertise of its Advisory Board, industry experts in the Media & Technology Forum, and rotating Executives in Residence.
