EMBA Program Overview
The Executive MBA (EMBA) Program at Columbia Business School is a
20-month graduate program designed specifically for high-achieving
businesspeople that are looking to enhance their education without
interrupting their careers. The EMBA Program meets on alternate Fridays
and Saturdays on the
Columbia University campus. The program offers both September and
January entry dates.
The program’s innovative curriculum and
collaborative learning environment helps you apply your knowledge and
skills to problems you face in today’s marketplace. An outstanding
faculty exposes you to cutting-edge ideas and practices — ideas and
practices that others will later adopt, teach and apply.
To date, more than 800 organizations have sponsored
executive-potential employees as students in Columbia’s EMBA program.
Leaders of these organizations can attest to the fact that the skills
you will acquire in the EMBA program are invaluable to the growth and
development of their respective organizations. (Learn more about sponsorship).
While financial sponsorship is not a requirement, employers must
endorse your enrollment, work with you to develop a flexible work
schedule and allow time away for class commitments.
In addition, there is the opportunity to participate in dual-degree programs, such as the Berkeley-Columbia Executive MBA and EMBA-Global,
administered in partnership with London Business School. These programs
divide class time between Columbia and the partner institutions and
award students MBA degrees from both schools.
