Significant changes since 1997
|
|
|
Successful launch of entrepreneurial Project Course, which includes extensive faculty mentoring.
Enrollment growth and dramatic increase in admissions quality coincides with the opening of Columbia Business School's new classroom building (which serves as the new home of the EMBA Program).
Expansion of popular International Seminar to increase student choice (see question 20).
|
|
Special trips or projects outside of country
|
|
|
|
|
|
An optional International Seminar is offered as a spring term elective to second-year students. The students, as a group, determine two destinations and then each student is able to register for one of the two trips. Courses are taught by two MBA faculty members per course who accompany the students on a week-long tour abroad with visits to 15-20 companies. In spring 2000, EMBA students will travel to Asia and Eastern Europe (both courses run concurrently).
