领导力。创新。创业。这些毫无疑问都是MBA领域里的流行词，也是哥伦比亚大学商学院（Columbia）新核心课程的三个关键组成部分。哥伦比亚大学商学院在今年秋天为2015届新生重新设计了课程。

这所商学院曾在2009年对课程进行过一次修订，以应对金融危机给商业环境带来的变化。最新核心课程推出之前，学院刚刚完成了一次非常成功的募资活动，为兴建新校园募得5亿至6亿美元。预计新校园将于2018年初投入使用。

最近的一些变化包括，哥伦比亚大学商学院将把课程的一些技术部分在线教授，拿出更多教学时间进行更深入的讨论。此外，它还将增加选修课的数量，学生可以在第一年选修这些课程，帮助他们在暑假实习期间，给雇主留下更深刻的印象。

Leadership. Innovation. Entrepreneurship. All popular buzzwords in MBA programs, for sure, and three of the key ingredients in a newly redesigned core curriculum Columbia has rolled out this fall for its incoming class of 2015.

The school's curriculum was last redesigned in 2009 to respond to the changing business environment wrought by the financial crisis. The new core comes on top of a highly successful fundraising campaign that has raised $500 million toward the $600 million cost of a new campus for the school, which is expected to open in early 2018.
Among the latest changes, Columbia will now teach some technical components of courses online to free up more classroom time for deeper discussion. The school will also increase the number of electives students can take in the first year to allow them to make a stronger impression on employers during their summer internships.
