Choosing the Right Program for Your Goals

The most successful graduates of our one-year Accelerated MBA program have clearly defined career paths. Many return to work on the business side of their technical or scientific organizations, while others pursue consulting careers.

If you hope to make a significant change in industry or career path, you may find that our two-year MBA program provides you with the best foundation for your future. Its semester-long immersion and full summer internship add invaluable preparation for such transformations. Or you may prefer to continue working while you earn your MBA. If that's the case, look into our Executive MBA and Cornell-Queens MBA programs. Here's a quick way to compare all four ways to earn a Cornell MBA.
