Columbia Business School Admissions Director: Mary Miller (MM)




CA: What is the most exciting event, development or change taking
place in the year ahead at Columbia Business School?

MM: Clearly, we're pleased to be moving forward with plans for the future home
of CBS, on the University's Manhattanville campus. The generous gift from
Mr. Cooperman '67 is further evidence of our alumni's unwavering commitment to
the school.

Secondly, we have just announced the launch of Columbia EMBA-Americas, an
Executive MBA program that provides more convenient access to the Columbia
MBA. This new EMBA stream will be delivered in week-long modules to make it
easier for executives in various parts of the United States, Canada and Latin
America to participate in the five-semester program. After three semesters
of core classes and cohort electives, students will have access to the EMBA
New York pool of week-long global electives, as well as traditional electives
and international seminars.


CA: What is the one area of your program that you wish applicants knew more
about?

MM: There are so many things at Columbia to talk about. We are very proud of
our finance faculty and Career Management's relationships with recruiting
firms. Further, our academic centers in media, pharma and healthcare help
leverage our New York City location and provide students with a broad array
of options.

Entrepreneurism, social enterprise and our real estate programs are areas of
growth at the school. Columbia's support of student entrepreneurial
initiatives has reached new heights, and the opportunities to learn from
faculty and practitioners engaged in real estate finance and development,
central to New York City's economic engine, are unparalleled.

Social enterprise has long been one of Columbia's strengths, with curricular
focus on Public and Nonprofit Management, International Development and
Emerging Markets, Social Entrepreneurship, and Corporate Social
Responsibility and Sustainability. Experiential learning in nonprofit board
leadership and international development consulting provides another
dimension to the student experience. Last but certainly not least is the
remarkable Columbia community – diverse, intellectually curious and
leadership-bound. It's our true “Columbia advantage.”
