ENTREPRENEURIAL MINDSET
This year at Columbia Business School, we updated our core
curriculum to make entrepreneurial thinking an even more prominent
part of the Columbia experience. We encourage our students to seek
out opportunities wherever they are, from start-ups to established
corporations, and have introduced innovative new programs to help
students launch their business ideas. For example, we opened the
Columbia Business Lab, a coworking space in Soho for recent graduates
in the process of starting new ventures. Twenty-one businesses took
off in the lab’s first year.
DIVERSITY IN ALUMNI EMPLOYMENT
BY INDUSTRY IN 2013
“ Columbia’s different from a lot of
schools that teach entrepreneurship
in that we don’t think about it from the
perspective of who’s an entrepreneur
and who isn’t. We think about how to teach
people to think outside the box and how to
develop innovative thinkers.”
— Keith Wilcox

In compliance with MBA CSEA reporting standards, student information is collected through four months after graduation each year, and only includes
data for jobs obtained by three months after graduation. This data, however, also includes sponsored students returning to their employers, which does
not adhere to MBA CSEA reporting standards. We have done so to present a more accurate view of where our students go after graduation.
Data on these two pages includes information on 86 sponsored students returning to their employers, but excludes
18 students starting their own businesses.
Excluding sponsored students and those starting businesses, per MBA CSEA reporting standards, leads to the following data:
Industry: Consulting 20.7%, Financial Services 43.1%, Manufacturing 9.1%, Media/Tech 14.9%, Other 12.2%

INTERNSHIP EMPLOYMENT
For our 545 September-entry students, the summer provides an
opportunity to explore a new function or industry of interest. Internships
are also valuable to companies, as they can assess a student’s fit for
full-time employment after graduation.
Our 200 January-entry students do not seek internships, since they take
classes during the summer term. Companies often visit campus
over the summer to meet this group of MBAs. For these students in
particular, and increasingly for all students, school-year internships and
projects provide connections to employers.

“ I was inspired by the class Launching Social
Ventures with Ron Gonen ’04. From all of
the great entrepreneurs he brought in, I saw that
so many of the new and exciting ventures that
are changing the world have a tech component.
It got me excited about pursuing technology to
in?uence social change. That experience led me to
an internship at Google, where I fell in love with the
culture and the breadth of the company’s reach.
I’ll be returning there to work full-time, likely in the
global education group.”

DIVERSE INTERESTS
Behind our Employment Report numbers are the unique stories of our students. They come
to us from nearly 90 countries with an interest in advancing their careers in a wide array of
fields. After graduation, they pursue opportunities in everything from digital media to retail to
real estate. They’re focused not just on the bottom line but on the world at large, working in
microfinance, green technology, and international development in emerging markets.
Even in more traditional areas like consulting and investment banking, our MBAs find ways to
differentiate themselves, focusing on industries such as energy, healthcare, and media. The
diversity of our graduates’ interests is one of the key elements that make our network of over
40,000 alumni worldwide so powerful.
“ For Columbia students,
?nding a job is about
determining the impact you
want to have and going with
laserlike focus in that direction. I wanted
to work in men’s retail and luxury goods—a
?eld that doesn’t do the same structured
recruiting as other industries like ?nance.
The people at the Career Management
Center gave me the con?dence to be bold
in my search and the know-how to ?nd the
right place.”

ENTREPRENEURIAL MINDSET
This year at Columbia Business School, we updated our core
curriculum to make entrepreneurial thinking an even more prominent
part of the Columbia experience. We encourage our students to seek
out opportunities wherever they are, from start-ups to established
corporations, and have introduced innovative new programs to help
students launch their business ideas. For example, we opened the
Columbia Business Lab, a coworking space in Soho for recent graduates
in the process of starting new ventures. Twenty-one businesses took
off in the lab’s first year.
DIVERSITY IN ALUMNI EMPLOYMENT
BY INDUSTRY IN 2013
“ Columbia’s different from a lot of
schools that teach entrepreneurship
in that we don’t think about it from the
perspective of who’s an entrepreneur
and who isn’t. We think about how to teach
people to think outside the box and how to
develop innovative thinkers.”
— Keith Wilcox

In compliance with MBA CSEA reporting standards, student information is collected through four months after graduation each year, and only includes
data for jobs obtained by three months after graduation. This data, however, also includes sponsored students returning to their employers, which does
not adhere to MBA CSEA reporting standards. We have done so to present a more accurate view of where our students go after graduation.
Data on these two pages includes information on 86 sponsored students returning to their employers, but excludes
18 students starting their own businesses.
Excluding sponsored students and those starting businesses, per MBA CSEA reporting standards, leads to the following data:
Industry: Consulting 20.7%, Financial Services 43.1%, Manufacturing 9.1%, Media/Tech 14.9%, Other 12.2%
Function: Consulting 26.2%, Finance (Internal) 7.6%, Financial Services 38%, Management 8.0%, Marketing 9.8%, Other 10.4%

INTERNSHIP EMPLOYMENT
For our 545 September-entry students, the summer provides an
opportunity to explore a new function or industry of interest. Internships
are also valuable to companies, as they can assess a student’s fit for
full-time employment after graduation.
Our 200 January-entry students do not seek internships, since they take
classes during the summer term. Companies often visit campus
over the summer to meet this group of MBAs. For these students in
particular, and increasingly for all students, school-year internships and
projects provide connections to employers.

“ I was inspired by the class Launching Social
Ventures with Ron Gonen ’04. From all of
the great entrepreneurs he brought in, I saw that
so many of the new and exciting ventures that
are changing the world have a tech component.
It got me excited about pursuing technology to
in?uence social change. That experience led me to
an internship at Google, where I fell in love with the
culture and the breadth of the company’s reach.
I’ll be returning there to work full-time, likely in the
global education group.”

DIVERSE INTERESTS
Behind our Employment Report numbers are the unique stories of our students. They come
to us from nearly 90 countries with an interest in advancing their careers in a wide array of
fields. After graduation, they pursue opportunities in everything from digital media to retail to
real estate. They’re focused not just on the bottom line but on the world at large, working in
microfinance, green technology, and international development in emerging markets.
Even in more traditional areas like consulting and investment banking, our MBAs find ways to
differentiate themselves, focusing on industries such as energy, healthcare, and media. The
diversity of our graduates’ interests is one of the key elements that make our network of over
40,000 alumni worldwide so powerful.
“ For Columbia students,
?nding a job is about
determining the impact you
want to have and going with
laserlike focus in that direction. I wanted
to work in men’s retail and luxury goods—a
?eld that doesn’t do the same structured
recruiting as other industries like ?nance.
The people at the Career Management
Center gave me the con?dence to be bold
in my search and the know-how to ?nd the
right place.”
