the director’s view “From the morning our programs begin, there’s a feeling that incredible things can happen. And they do, not just in the classroom, but also while collaborating on a project, bonding during a pickup basketball game, or chatting over cocktails. Is it the energy of New York or the electricity of having a group of highly intelligent and immensely curious people together in one place? It’s probably a little of both. The people who take part in this program are optimistic, positive—and that’s infectious.” Paul Ingram Kravis Professor of Business, Management Division and faculty director of the Columbia Senior Executive Program

Columbia Business School Executive Education
The Columbia Difference: Faculty Involvement Custom programs offer organizations something unique right from the start: a dedicated Columbia Business School professor who designs the program and acts as a faculty lead for the entire engagement. Each Columbia faculty director, in partnership with your organization, establishes educational objectives that reflect your desired goals and then shapes the program accordingly: developing the curriculum and recruiting contributing faculty members in the required areas of expertise. During the program, the faculty director weaves the “golden thread� of the program, laying out the road map for participants and demonstrating how the program builds to achieve the objective.

The specialists have advised many participants and can be a helpful resource as you take the next step in executive education.
Refunds: Any remaining balance of a cancelled program’s payment can be applied to another Columbia Business School Executive Education program within one year. After one year, the balance is nonrefundable.* Full tuition is nonrefundable under these conditions: 1. The registrant or substitute does not enroll in another program within one year** of the original start date, and/or 2. The registrant or substitute defers or transfers more than two times. Visas If you require a visa, you will need a B1 business visa. Some embassies may ask that you apply for a student visa, but because these programs are nondegree and participants are visiting the United States on business, the B1 is appropriate. Columbia
Business School Executive Education follows the US State Department guidelines, which can be found at http://travel.state.gov/visa/questions/ questionsďźż4433.html. It is against University policy for a representative to contact an embassy on behalf of a participant. However, there is a standard letter that can be sent to you to present to the embassy, if needed. To request this letter, please contact execed@columbia.edu.
* Columbia Business School Executive Education is not responsible
for travel or related costs under any circumstances. Participants may want to consider purchasing trip cancellation insurance in the unlikely event that a program is cancelled or they cannot attend for personal or professional reasons.
** For any program with more than two iterations in an enrollment year, tuition is nonrefundable after the second transfer.
