Core Curriculum
Columbia Business School’s core curriculum represents about 40 percent of the MBA degree requirement — two full courses and 12 half-term courses, three of which students select from “flexcore” menus. A staple of the Columbia experience, the core curriculum is designed to give students an in-depth mastery of the academic disciplines and applied functional areas necessary to every business leader’s success. Taught by both full-time professors and practitioners, the core leaves students with more than just practical knowledge; case-based lessons and collaborative learning models train students to analyze, decide, and lead — rather than merely know — while creating a common student experience that fosters a deep and tenacious community. Before each semester, exemption exams are offered, allowing students already deeply versed in a particular subject area the opportunity to replace core courses with electives.
