Intro

Merging the strengths of two top business schools, the Berkeley-Columbia Executive MBA program attracts seasoned professionals who want to earn an MBA and gain access to the resources of two noted universities while sustaining career momentum. In 19 months students receive degrees from each school.

The Berkeley-Columbia Executive MBA program brings together faculties from two top-ranked business schools on both coasts. Students attend sessions approximately every three weeks. Classes meet 20 times in California, Thursday through Saturday. Classes meet 5 times in New York, Wednesday through Saturday. Instruction is divided equally between Berkeley and Columbia faculty members.

Learning Style

The core courses make up about 60 percent of the curriculum and are all taken in the first three terms. During the final two terms, electives and independent study build on the general management courses.

Faculty members use a variety of teaching methods. Case studies, seminars, simulations, guest speakers and group projects all facilitate the learning process. Classroom learning is enhanced by numerous opportunities to apply the lessons to real-world situations.

International Perspective

International Seminar
Students travel abroad for a week of experiential learning through lectures, discussions with local business and government leaders, and site visits. Each trip examines key factors influencing global business success in places as diverse as Latin America, India, Europe and China.

Students choose an International Seminar that matches their business interests—whether current or future. The course typically includes a combination of classroom lectures, group projects or site visits over a period of one week. Students may tack on a few days before or after the seminar to pursue business opportunities or simply enjoy the cultural ambience of the global business centers.
