Requisitos de admisión

Columbia Business School selects applicants from varied business and other backgrounds who have the potential to become successful global leaders. The Admissions Committee seeks to develop a thorough understanding of each applicant prior to rendering a decision.

We assess candidates in three basic areas:

• Academic strength
  The committee values academic performance and seeks candidates who demonstrate superior intellectual ability.

• Professional promise
  Close attention is paid to each applicant’s professional accomplishments as well as to his or her professional ambitions. The committee seeks applicants who have developed a strong foundation and / or essential skills for their future professional goals.

• Personal characteristics
  The committee seeks to enroll individuals of strong character who have proven themselves as both leaders and team players, who are well rounded and interesting and who have demonstrated the will and ability to actively contribute to the well-being of their community.

The Admissions Committee endeavors to select a group of people representing an extraordinary variety of professions, nationalities, ethnicities and personal interests.

Columbia Business School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, nationality, sexual orientation, political affiliation, disability or veteran status.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or its equivalent from an accredited institution.

• The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT).

• International students whose native language is not English must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). You may be exempted from the TOEFL if you have received a degree from an institution whose official language of instruction is English.

Interviews
Interviews are not required for admission to Columbia Business School, although some prospective students may be asked to participate in evaluative interviews. Conducted by alumni and current students who are members of the Columbia Business School Ambassadors program, these interviews are offered around the globe.

Once the Admissions Office receives a complete application, a prospective student may be invited to interview. Interviews are by invitation only and cannot be requested.
