Recruiting at Columbia business school
Amid these challenging times, Columbia Business School continues to educate versatile business leaders who can excel in
any environment. Our programs bridge academic theory and real-world practice, allowing students to add immediate value to
a wide range of organizations. The Schools extraordinary network of alumni, global business partners and faculty members,
along with our vibrant location, distinguish us among our peers.
The Schools candidates include full-time MBA students, executive MBA students and alumni. Along with the full-time students
who begin in September, a smaller group of students enter in January, take classes through the summer and join their
classmates in the fall.
The Career Management Center (CMC) works with hiring organizations across the public, private and nonprofit sectors to
develop effective and efficient recruiting strategies. Recruiters can get to know the Schools talented students in a variety of
ways: on-campus job fairs, prerecruiting functions, drop-in sessions, interviews and educational presentations with student
clubs, among other opportunities. Companies can also collaborate with the CMC to interview students closer to the time of
hiring on an as-needed basis.
Columbia Business School students have proven to be nimble and flexible during a shifting economic and hiring landscape.
Employers report that Columbia MBAs have the right mix of business knowledge and social intelligenceenduring assets
for any organization. Whatever the size, sector or goals of your organization, we invite you to get to know our students and
consider how their talents can be of benefit.

Columbia Business Schools commitment to global business

is reflected in and reinforced by its diverse student body.
In recent classes, more than 40 percent of students hold
non-U.S. passports. Students in the class that entered in
2009 come from more than 50 countries and speak almost as
many languages. Most have lived, worked or studied abroad.
The Schools 38,000 alumni continue to be diverse and
representative of the highest levels of business leadership
worldwide. As alumni move ahead in their careers, many
elect to take leadership positions at companies spanning
a wider range of industries than recent graduates typically
choose. Columbia Business School alumni are actively involved
in all aspects of the student experience, from interviewing
prospective students for admission and lecturing in the
classroom to speaking on panels at club-sponsored events and
coming back to recruit the next class of MBA graduates.
