Executive MBA: EMBA – Americas
-
I had a boss who recommended that rather than picking a school locally in Atlanta I had to think about extending my network and meeting new people. A Columbia MBA is a really good opportunity to figure out what else interested me besides consumer products. As the center of business, there isn't really a better place to be than New York city. Professor Fraiman is my favorite, he does an amazing job on bringing his network of speakers to talk to us about what they are doing.

INTENSIVE FOCUS, CONVENIENT FORMAT
EMBA-Americas’ modular format encourages immersive study, fosters deep relationships with peers and professors, and provides inroads to New York’s business community, helping executives take full advantage of the time they spend at school.
The program begins with three terms of in-residence class sessions that meet approximately one week per month, with Columbia arranging students’ accommodations in a nearby hotel. Of the eleven residence sessions during the core, eight are held in New York and one each in Mexico City, San Francisco, and Toronto.
During their final two terms, EMBA-Americas students select from a wide range of electives—one of the largest slates in the United States—tailoring their choices to meet a variety of their needs from subject to schedule to format to location. As one of their electives, students are required to participate in an international seminar, a weeklong immersion in another country’s business practices led by a Columbia Business School professor.
Taking electives across Columbia Business School’s many programs, EMBA-Americas students learn with and from peers living and working in New York, across the United States, Canada, and Latin America, and around the globe.
