Berkeley-Columbia Executive MBA Program

A Model for Success

The MBA Program

Whether you’re a mid-level professional or a seasoned executive, you’ll find the program’s courses fully engaging. The Berkeley-Columbia Executive MBA curriculum draws from the best of both schools, offering you a complete MBA experience as rigorous as each school’s full-time program.

A Solid Foundation

Your Berkeley-Columbia education is anchored in the fundamentals of management and the latest theories and best practices in business. You build a basic framework in qualitative, analytical, strategic and problem-solving skills. Faculty members apply their expertise in a range of fields to increase knowledge of successful management, leadership, human behavior, how organizations work and how the economy and markets function. As a result, you not only gain knowledge about best business practices, but also learn about the fundamental principles behind them.

A Collaborative Approach

Many of the classes and associated projects are based on a team construct. One of the key aspects of this program is your study group. You are initially assigned to teams, but regrouping after the second term allows you to get to know more people in depth and to mesh a new combination of individual strengths. Working together on course assignments, you and your classmates benefit from the leadership of each person—from mid-level professionals to executives.
