Columbia Business School is the only Ivy League business school immersed in New York City. Here, students enjoy guest lectures, classroom visits, and even one-on-one consultations from the most innovative minds in the field. Their real-world insights are invaluable to our students’ growth as business leaders.

When our graduates join your organization, the interactions they’ve had on campus will ensure that they hit the ground running. In addition to regular classroom visits, here are a few of the programs that drive this collaboration with real-world business.
