Amplify your military

At CBS, veterans are quickly immersed in challenging coursework led by an energetic, engaging, and dynamic faculty. An MBA from CBS builds on valuable military skills and experience by developing and refining business judgement throughout an extensive core curriculum. Veterans will be transformed by the entrepreneurial campus culture, and the abundant energy of New York City will make every day unique and exciting.

Veterans are never alone at Columbia Business School - each class includes veterans from multiple nations and branches of service. An instant camaraderie builds strong teams which help transitioning veterans navigate coursework, job recruitment, and the many bars and restaurants New York City has to offer.
We believe that there is no better place than CBS for veterans to earn an MBA and transition to their next career.

““I was able to translate my interest in technology to an exciting role at a leading Silicon Valley company. Columbia played an integral role in preparing me for my internship, which eventually led to a full-time offer. I can’t wait to start and leverage both the skills I learned in the military and the skills I gained as a student at CBS.””

““With so many employment options to choose from, students can become overwhelmed in the recruitment process. Columbia gave me the opportunity to test investment banking as a summer intern. I ultimately decided that a product management role at a leading internet retailer was a better fit — and that is where I’ll work after I graduate.
It was great to use the internship to learn about an industry I was interested in - and Columbia enabled me to access the most competitive jobs (full-time and internships) sought by MBA students across the country.””
