Two-Year MBA

Our Two-Year MBA program spans 21 months, including a summer internship between the two academic years. The program begins in August, with two weeks of orientation activities that provide a foundation of concepts and skills, as well as a warm introduction to your classmates, faculty and staff. After orientation, the intensity really begins.

Curriculum

Johnson's curriculum is founded on three principles:

1. A foundation in all the key functional areas of business

2. Strong analytical and decision making skills

3. A high degree of flexibility in tailoring individual curricula

In our Two-Year MBA program, we accomplish these through:

• Core courses provide a knowledge base in the functional areas of business.

• Electives allow you to build skills and knowledge that are specific to your goals and interests. Johnson offers an unusual degree of academic flexibility; here you can choose courses not only from the MBA roster but from some 4000 courses offered all across Cornell.

• Performance Learning experiences are embedded throughout our MBA program, from orientation through graduation. You'll apply theory and models to gain intensive, hands-on experience in teamwork, leadership, ethical decision-making, and strategic thinking. In particular, immersions deliver exceptional preparation for internships.
