Columbia Business School Professor Daniel Keum spoke with Fortune reporter Emma Burleigh about how CBS MBA students are uniquely positioned to navigate a job market increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence. Keum explained that resources available at CBS—particularly its location in New York City—provide students with unmatched access to employers, internships, and real-time industry exposure that many MBA programs cannot replicate. He also emphasized the growing importance of technical and analytical skills, such as Python and data literacy, noting that CBS integrates these competencies into its curriculum to better prepare students for roles in finance, consulting, and technology-driven business functions.
