Testimonials

Student

"People at the program helped me build a curriculum that would really help me move forward. I’ve gotten exposure to all different kinds of people by taking a class at the Business School. I’ve met people who work in the best firms in the financial sector, and also people like myself who have a liberal arts background and degree.

Columbia is one of the most beautiful campuses, probably in the country…enrolling in Columbia gave me the push I needed, and the confidence to really move me forward in my career, and truly lay the groundwork for potentially an MBA."

"I knew exactly what I needed as a bridge from my undergraduate degree to the Ph.D. degree I was seeking. Now I’ve found a program where I can invent what I want to study, and have access to just about every class at Columbia University. I don’t think a lot of schools understand the demand for innovation coming from my generation. The Post Baccalaureate program allows me to reinvent the person I want to be, and invent the program that would suit the person I want to be."

"The moment I set foot on the Columbia campus, I knew this was it. There was such power, such energy; the whole environment was inspirational.

I made the decision I wanted to take over the family business (in The Netherlands), and I gave myself a year to create a very strong academic profile. I just got accepted for the full MBA program. Without the School of Continuing Education, it would have been a much wider step. If you want to be the best, this is absolutely it. 'If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.' That stands for New York, and it stands for Columbia. And it’s absolutely true.
