3. Snapshot: Curriculum
Our curriculum prepares students
to be resilient leaders. Immersed
in real-world business dilemmas,
they learn to anticipate rather than
react to the opportunities present-
ed by digital disruption, climate
change, financial inclusion, and
social justice.

4. AView
I knew Columbia Business School would be the
best place to explore as many of my profes-
sional and personal interests as possible. If
there’s someone whose career path excites
you, or a company doing work you find impact-
ful, or a professor or alum or guest lecturer
whose views inspire you - reach out, introduce
yourself, and ask for twenty minutes of their
time.
Allison Chou
MBA ’23
Joining the MBA program from a non-tradition-
al background, I highly valued the flexibility to
complement the Core Curriculum with electives
like Impact Investing and Entrepreneurship
through Acquisition. The opportunity to get
involved with the Microlumbia Impact Fund and
pursue courses through the Tamer Center’s
Social Enterprise Club allowed me to craft a
rigorous and fulfilling plan of study tailored to
my specific interests.
Román Tirado
MBA ’23
I chose Columbia Business School because
I felt energized by the community. The new
Manhattanville campus has helped strengthen
our CBS community by providing spaces that
enable me and my peers to collaborate while
also giving us enough room to focus on indi-
vidual projects, all the while providing all the
resources we may need in one location.
