Recruiting Experienced-Level MBAs

Columbia Business School’s Executive MBA Program attracts managers from around the world and from a range of cultural, personal, and occupational backgrounds. These accomplished professionals participate in an academic program that provides highly relevant learning experiences at the intersection of theory and practice.

The School offers three program formats designed for flexibility, including EMBA-NY Fri/Sat, EMBA-NY Saturday, and a partner program with London Business School (LBS) that extend the Columbia network around the globe. Students who enroll in the EMBA Program are diverse, sophisticated managers who have taken on, or aspire to take on, global responsibilities in their organizations, making them ideal candidates for recruitment by international companies. A significant percentage of the EMBA class is self-sponsored and eligible for recruitment.

The Columbia Business School global community includes more than 49,000 alumni in 121 countries worldwide. There are over 18,000 in the New York tri-state area alone. The School’s alumni are business leaders in financial services, consulting, real estate, healthcare, media and communications, information technology, marketing, nonprofits, and entrepreneurial ventures. They are proud of the Columbia Business School brand, and many recruit actively on campus and through the School’s job-posting and résumé databases.

Columbia Business School offers a variety of degree programs that attract independent thinkers from eclectic backgrounds who thrive on challenges both in and outside the classroom. Our programs bridge academic theory and practice so that students develop strong foundational skills as well as a team oriented work ethic and adept leadership and decision-making capabilities. Most importantly, our students are equipped with an entrepreneurial mindset to think strategically and capture opportunity in a competitive business environment.
