MBA candidates naturally have a good deal of information they want – and need – to convey in their materials, and getting the important ideas down under restrictive word counts is a difficult task. While it might be tempting to run a bit beyond the guidelines to slip in that one extra thought, it’s important to keep the reasons for word limits in mind.

In today’s challenging economic climate, some applicants are turning to accelerated programs that take only 10-15 months to complete and cost substantially less than a two-year program. These candidates argue that they don’t have the time or money to invest in a two-year program. In light of the growing popularity of one-year MBA programs, The Wall Street Journal surveyed 1,361 recent grads and 731 alumni and reported their findings in a recent article about the one-year MBA track.

After making somewhat significant changes to their essay questions last season, Columbia is sticking with the same three required essays this year. With one essay about bridging the gap between theory and practice and another about a failure in a team setting, this set of topics suggests a focus on a candidate’s ability to learn from experience and put challenges and setbacks in perspective.

Columbia Business School has announced the establishment of seven new professorships, each named in honor of a distinguished Columbia faculty member or industry figure who has made a significant contribution to the School. Five of the new chairs — all of which are reserved for full professors, visiting professors or professors of professional practice — have been filled by current faculty members. Appointments to the remaining two professorships will be made in the next year. Five of the new professorships are supported by unrestricted gifts: the Eli W. Ginzberg Professorship of Finance and Economics, to be filled by Wouter Dessein; the Robert W. Lear Professorship of Finance and Economics, to be filled by Charles Jones; the Franklin Pitcher Johnson Jr. Professorship of Finance and Economics, to be filled by Tano Santos; the Stefan H. Robock Professorship of Finance and Economics, currently vacant; and the Philip H. Geier Jr. Professorship of Marketing, to be filled by Ran Kivetz. The Hughie E. Mills Professorship of Business, which has yet to be filled, and the John A. Howard Professorship of Business, to be filled by Kamel Jedidi, were established with funding from one of the School’s unrestricted endowments. “We are proud to recognize the outstanding achievements and important contributions of both the individuals for whom our new professorships are named and the faculty members who will hold those titles,” said Dean Glenn Hubbard. “The ability to draw and keep the most talented faculty members, who serve as resources for our students and enhance our reputation as a source of transformational ideas, is critical to our mission of preparing tomorrow’s business leaders.” Five of these professorships honor former members of the Columbia Business School faculty and staff: Stefan H. Robock, the R. D. Calkins Professor Emeritus of International Business; the late Eli W. Ginzberg, the A. Barton Hepburn Professor Emeritus of Economics; the late John A. Howard, a former marketing professor; Robert W. Lear, the School’s first executive in residence, who specialized in corporate governance and executive leadership; and Hughie E. Mills, who served as director of community relations and later as director of financial aid at the School. Since 2004, the School has established 28 new professorships, bringing the total number of full and associate professorships to 72.
