Academics
An MBA from Columbia Business School in New York City comes with “prestige,” a phenomenal “international reputation,” and a great community. The business school of Columbia University, CBS fosters a “collaborative culture” which quickly creates a “strong network of peers,” not to mention a “powerful alumni group.” When it comes to academics, these future MBAs tout the strength of CBS’ “healthcare…[and] quantitative curriculum[s].” Many students also love that CBS offers a “specific program focused on media & entertainment which is not common [at] most top MBA programs.” In recent years, CBS has “really ramped up its entrepreneurship offerings” as well. Students also happily report that their professors are “an ideal mix…of academics [and] practitioners.” Therefore, there’s a good balance between “theory” and “real-world” application. Students find the professors themselves to be “helpful, intelligent [and] humorous.” They’re “engaged” and make sure they’re “accessible” whenever questions and concerns arise. Finally, students call attention to the fact that educational opportunities extend far beyond the classroom. The business school endeavors to bring many high “quality speakers…[to] campus.” One extremely excited student adds, “From talking to astronauts in space to hosting Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, you can’t get any better at attracting big name executives from every industry than Columbia.”
