The Cornell Executive MBA Americas combines the flexibility of online learning with the rigor and engagement of a highly collaborative Ivy League executive MBA experience. Every other weekend, you join your cohort and faculty in live, discussion-driven classes where you debate ideas, solve complex business challenges and learn alongside experienced professionals from diverse industries and markets.

Through ongoing team projects, workshops, learning teams and class teams, you’ll build meaningful professional relationships that many graduates cite as one of the program’s greatest strengths. The experience is designed to foster lasting connections, both personally and professionally.

Four immersive residential sessions in New York City and Ithaca, NY, deepen those relationships and strengthen the bonds formed online. Together with Cornell’s global alumni network, the program creates a connected learning community that extends beyond graduation and differs significantly from other online MBA programs.

What makes this program different isn’t just how it’s delivered, it’s who it connects. You’ll engage with peer executives whose experiences span industries, markets and environments across the Americas. These varied perspectives create richer discussions, more thoughtful decision-making and a broader understanding of how organizations succeed in different contexts.

As you progress through the program, you’ll gain insight into how leaders approach growth, innovation, talent and strategy in different regions and sectors. The result is an expanded worldview that helps you recognize opportunities, anticipate modern challenges and lead more effectively in an increasingly interconnected, global business environment.
