Live Online Programs
Overview
Now, more than ever, executives need the knowledge and insights to help them adapt to change and solve complex problems. And as the business world has evolved, we have applied new best practices to continuously improve the experience. With our live online programs, we are taking many of our in-person programs and are translating them to a fully live and virtual format, delivering the same interactive sessions with faculty and real-time application of knowledge you would experience in person.

“The fact that I truly wished there to be homework assignments because of how engaging the lectures and course material were speaks for itself!”

“I've been a C-Level member for several years and this is the kind of continuous learning I've always sought to upgrade my personal and professional capabilities. What was totally unique was the schedule and tuition value that made the whole experience worthwhile. I highly recommend Columbia Exec Ed for continuous education or simply to broaden your horizon.”

“We all have very busy jobs, yet I found it very easy to tune everything else out during the lectures and remain fully immersed, even though due to COVID we all were attending virtually. It's a great testimony to both the quality and preparation of the instructors that, despite this being their first time holding the entire course fully online, went so smoothly and was packed full of valuable and thought-provoking material.”

“This past year had drained me on every level. I needed to clear my head and find the confident, adventurous spirit that got lost under the masks and gowns of the pandemic. I needed to get my eyes off the ground and my view back to 30,000 feet. And that is what happened at Columbia Business School Executive Education. My fellow students were as inspiring as the instructors. If you have ever studied here, you know what I mean. With each program I have taken at Columbia I left renewed and recharged. If we are going to lead from the front, we need to be able to see clearly.”
