SCHOOL COMMENTS
School Comments:
Applicants can apply for scholarship consideration in two ways: (1) as part of the admissions application and (2) through a unique scholarship application.
I think the Columbia MBA program has some clear benefits over others mainly due to the New York location. Because of this the quality and availability of adjunct Professors or external speakers is really incredible. -- Consulting
Columbia is a fantastic finance school with opportunities to connect with and learn from "heads of industry". The adjunct faculty -- particularly in the asset management area -- are truly amazing. -- Finance
I�ve really enjoyed my time at Columbia � I respect and admire the people I�ve met, and I feel that I�m coming away from the MBA experience with more confidence and knowledge. I�ve already recommended Columbia to friends interested in applying to Business School, and even to friends who aren�t sure what they want to do. -- Nonprofit
My experience at Columbia far exceeded my expectations and for anyone that is interested in pursuing a career in the business world or management in general I would urge them to enroll at Columbia. I find it hard to believe there is a school that beats the social, academic and profession building atmosphere of Columbia. -- Nonprofit
I have encouraged friends to apply to CBS because of the opportunities both New York and the school afford. The classes taught by professors of practice are especially unique and valuable. The administration is very responsive to student input. -- Finance
After two years at Columbia Business School I feel a much more complete manager. Not only in terms of technical skills, but also soft skills. I would recommend this program to anyone willing to enhance his career and capabilities. -- Consulting
I am more than pleased with my experience at Columbia Business School. My experience inside and outside of the classroom far exceeded my expectations. The program's international focus and location added a richness to the education. In addition, the school's location was key for maximizing professional, academic, and social opportunities. -- Finance
The program got me what I wanted. It was expensive but I think it'll pay off in the long run. -- Consulting
I felt that the student body, overall, lacked intellectual rigor --for example, the core curriculum was taught by freshman professors (those who just finished their PhDs) and was aimed at a very low level. Although it is in NYC and there are great opportunities to network and meet distinguished alums, other schools I believe would provide a similar opportunity with the intellectual rigor with which their research staff are reknown for. -- Investment Banking
My expectations were exceeded, and I would recomend everyone to enroll in Columbia Buisness School. The experience gives you the academic formation necessary, and provides you with an amazing network, that will enable one to succeed. -- Entrepreneurship
Columbia has provided me with a great education, a great network, and a great experience. -- Finance
The Columbia experience was key to obtaining a good job, especially in NYC. The program offered a nice balance between quantitative subjects and the case study methodology. -- Venture Capital/Private Equity
I would recommend Columbia for the following reasons: 1. the quality & diversity of my classmates; 2. location (helpful for speakers, adjunct professors & interviewing with financial firms); 3. access to the alumni who were remarkably helpful in my job search -- Finance
I am absolutely satisfied with Columbia Business School. The teachers are outstanding, the people are amazing, and the experience is incredibly rewarding. I am amazed by how much I have learned and how much Columbia has transformed my thinking. Not only that, its just so much fun. -- Finance
I found my experience at CBS highly rewarding both personally and professionally. First with the help of my professors I found my career path. I learned tremendously in the area I am intending to pursue. In addition I met great friends from all around the world. -- Finance
The quality of the academic experience was vastly disappointing. With only a small handful of exceptions, the course material was simplistic and had no possible value to my future career. It appears that the only concievable purpose in pursuing an MBA is as a credential for one's resume. -- Entrepreneurship
While I think I learned a tremendous amount and made some wonderful friends, I did not think the program was particularly well administered. -- Human Resources
Columbia is a wonderful place for career switchers. It has provided students with numerous job opportunities, especially for those who wish to enter the Financial industries. It also has the unparalleled New York advantage. I don't think any other school offers such a good combination of excellent career prospect and colorful life.
I was very skeptical about doing MBA but Columbia MBA was a great experience and I am so glad that I made this life time investment at Columbia. -- Consulting作者: s 时间: 2010-6-17 17:26
