Program Structure

The blended format of the Advanced Management Program extends the quality of instruction and individualized coaching the Columbia Business School is known for, to wherever life takes you. The online components of our blended program allow you to engage with your peers, professors, and coaches virtually and from anywhere in the world, while the in-person immersion experiences bring participants together at the very center of business in New York City.

Our program weaves together the very best of virtual and traditional instruction over 22 weeks. During this time, faculty and industry thought leaders will guide you through our distinct modules centered around an integrated approach to leadership:

Your final program module will explore topics in persuasion, organizational change, and the art of choice. Here, you will culminate the skills nurtured in previous modules and complete a transformational project based on a real-world case study. Finally, you will create an action plan to address current challenges in your organization and present your personal leadership credo to peers and professors.

Testimonials

It is a journey which I would recommend to anyone who wants to be challenged to succeed professionally and personally.

Carla Koffel

Country Director, American Bar Association Rule of Law Institute

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.

If this program doesn't add considerable value on both a personal and professional level, look inwards. Columbia gets it right.

Application Requirements

FAQ

Each cohort of Columbia’s Advanced Management Program is selected through careful review of each candidate’s background, achievements, and learning goals. We not only aim to accept leaders with a wealth of knowledge and successes but also those who have a curiosity about themselves, are willing to view their strongest convictions with humility, and believe in continuous learning and progress to discover what else they can do for their organization and themselves.

To apply, please submit an application form, and share a bit of information about your background, goals, and business challenges. Then you will be asked to set up a call with a member on the program team.

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.

Virtual workshops and lectures take place at scheduled intervals each week, and independent assignments and reflections can be completed on your own time so long as you submit the required materials by the assigned deadline.

Your Advanced Management Program experience spans well beyond the last day of the program. After the program ends, we encourage you to stay connected to your new network.

Program participants have the opportunity to participate in virtual learning sessions like webinars and conferences and receive direct access to the Columbia Business School network, including benefits like invitations to worldwide alumni events, access to unique career content, an online networking platform, the alumni directory, and more. Since professional development is a lifelong journey, Advanced Management Program graduates also receive a 25 percent tuition discount on most executive education programs.

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.

Cancellation and Payment Policy

By enrolling in a Columbia Business School Executive Education program, you have agreed to comply with our full Cancellation and Payment Policy:

Program Fee: Full payment is required within 30 days of the date of application in order for candidates to maintain their place in the program and to receive preliminary materials. Failure to comply with our payment policy will result in applicants losing their seat. Participants who enroll less than 45 days before the program start date are required to pay the full fee immediately as a condition of acceptance.

Cancellation And Refunds: All cancellation, transfer, and substitution notifications must be sent in writing via email to Cara Thompson at cara.thompson@gsb.columbia.edu. A full refund may only be obtained if notification is received at least 31 days prior to the program start date. Each registrant is limited to one refund within a 365-day period. Due to program preparation and administration costs, any cancellations or requests for transfers received 30 days or less before the program begins are subject to late notice fees as described below:

More than 30 days' notice: 0% Cancellation or Transfer Fee
14 to 30 days' notice: 50% Cancellation or 20% Transfer Fee
Less than 14 days' notice: 75% Cancellation or 30% Transfer Fee

Transfers: The limit of transfer requests per participant is one time for the Advanced Management Program. Full tuition is nonrefundable if the registrant or substitute cancels or defers more than one time for the Advanced Management Program.

Transfer Balance: Any remaining balance of a payment for a cancelled program can be applied to another Columbia Business School Executive Education program within one year of the original program date. After one year, the balance is nontransferable and nonrefundable. Requests for refunds of payments made more than one year prior are also nonrefundable.

Substitutions: All participant substitutions are subject to the sole discretion of Columbia Business School Executive Education. Requests must be submitted in advance of the program start date and will be reviewed on an individual basis, based on participant qualifications and lead time needed for any pre-program work and administration.

Travel and Visas: Columbia Business School Executive Education is not responsible for matters or costs related to travel or visas 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. Visa denials or delays do not warrant a refund or waiver of late notice fees.

Location: While we make every effort for our programs to take place on campus, some programs may run off campus in New York City. Columbia Business School Executive Education reserves the right to change the program location at any time. Program location changes do not merit a refund.
