The Columbia Advantage

Faculty and Academics

Executive MBA students earn the same degree as full-time students, benefiting from the same high-level coursework with many of the same professors. Choose from several program options to balance your career, studies, and life schedule.

All courses are taught by the School’s 150 full-time faculty, thought leaders whose research is transforming the way business is conducted across the world, and by more than 100+ adjunct faculty, practitioners who come directly from the world of business to share their invaluable first-hand experience.

Where Theory Meets Practice

We prepare students for career success by connecting their real-world experience from the trading floors, board rooms, and retail stores with our classroom education.

What’s learned on Friday can be applied on Monday, and Monday’s results can inform Friday’s discussion. This is how leading-edge theory meets real-world practice. Moreover, we understand how and when the business world is shifting, and we regularly introduce new programs that prepare our students for today’s rapidly changing business landscape.
