Columbia Business School coordinates with national and student organizations to recruit Hispanic students proactively. The Admissions Office works with several organizations focused on increasing minority presence in business, including the National Society of Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA), Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT) and Sponsor for Educational Opportunity (SEO). Hispanic and Latin American students often accompany Columbia admissions officers to general MBA forums and conferences, and our Hispanic and Latin American alumni support receptions in cities nationwide, including New York, San Francisco, Dallas and Washington D.C, as well as in major cities throughout Latin America. The Admissions Office also hosts a number of Hispanic-focused events on campus each year.

Columbia Business School's diverse student population represents a wide array of ethnicities, nationalities and professional backgrounds. As a result, students bring many different perspectives to the classroom, creating unique opportunities to learn from each other. Education at Columbia Business School is global in scope, featuring a world-class international faculty; an innovative curriculum that features Master Classes, study tours and a variety of special projects that send students to Asia, Africa, South America and other locations where they apply lessons to business challenges. Lastly, the 36,000-member alumni network spans more than 100 countries, giving students unlimited access to information, mentors and career insights.

There are nearly 100 active student organizations at Columbia Business School that serve professional as well as personal interests.

Employers who hire Columbia Business School MBA students consistently praise the analytical skills, decision-making ability and entrepreneurial mindset that our graduates exhibit from the very first day on the job.
