Columbia Business School’s Advanced Management Program is a holistic executive education program. The academic sessions are facilitated by thought-provoking instructors. The individuals who comprise the program team make the Columbia experience uniquely rewarding. I do not think this experience can be replicated by another institution. The people make the difference.

The blended format of the Advanced Management Program is offered twice per year, with cohort options in the fall and spring. Each program session is 22 weeks long, and involves a mix of synchronous and asynchronous content throughout the week.

Please note that you are responsible for complying with all visa and other applicable US regulations. Because our programs are short-term professional development programs, and not degree granting, generally our students do not require a student visa, but a B1 business visa.

For information regarding travel into the United States, refer to the US State Department website. Under University policy, we cannot contact an embassy directly on behalf of a participant. Please note that the visa process may be very lengthy, therefore we strongly encourage all participants to begin the process immediately upon enrollment.
