The unique approach to entrepreneurship education at Columbia Business School combines a systematic integration of entrepreneurial themes throughout the core curriculum, a strong elective course program, rigorous hands-on lab courses and a commitment to making entrepreneurship a viable career option for students. Mentors-largely successful alumni-provide vigorous, high-quality advice and guidance throughout the business development process and the eventual start-up. The Lang Center supports socially responsible ventures and has created a distinctive model for developing an entrepreneurial network that is utilized by the Global Social Venture Competition.
