SCHEDULE

The program’s compact 19-month schedule and compressed format keep travel time manageable and minimize time out of the office. This allows you to focus on your education with greater economy of time and energy—and less disruption to your life.

A Compact, Convenient Schedule
The program is divided into five terms of three to four months in length. During each term, class sessions meet five times, typically Thursday through Saturday. Except for the International Seminar, required courses are completed in the first three terms.

Electives in the final two terms make it easy to gain a more in-depth understanding of a broad array of functional areas.

“It’s a well-worn phrase, but I really do learn at least as much from the students as they learn from me. I spend my life studying the ways that firms navigate the perils of emerging markets, and every time I stand up in front of the classroom, I am brought in contact with a room full of experts on the topic. We economists don’t believe in cheap talk or empty quotes: we only trust what people reveal through their actions—I’ve taught in the Berkeley-Columbia Executive MBA program since its inception and have no plans to stop!”
