Ivy League Academics. Industry Advantages.

The Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University offers a broad range of graduate programs—and they all benefit from our rich expertise in a variety of sectors, industries, and business functions. Among our most notable areas of specialization are consulting, entrepreneurship, investment banking and asset management, and technology.
No matter which graduate program you choose, you’ll find elements of our industry expertise throughout your academic experience at the Johnson School.
Our primary industry expertise—consulting, entrepreneurship, investment banking, and technology—aren’t degrees and programs themselves. Rather, the practical skills and knowledge you need to succeed in each of these fields are embedded throughout the curriculum, from core requirements and elective classes to internships, fellowships, and immersive learning experiences.
