Johnson's Two-Year MBA provides students with valuable, hands-on experience in business and leadership education, giving them a competitive advantage during their summer internships and post-graduate careers. Johnson's distinctive approach combines a comprehensive business education with unique immersion experiences and electives, allowing students to explore their career areas of interest sooner and more deeply.

During their first semester, students complete the bulk of Johnson's core curriculum, which emphasizes analytics, critical thinking, and leadership. This prepares them to take part in an immersion-learning experience during their second semester and deep dive into their area of interest. Students go on site visits, work on real cases, and solve problems in actual business settings while being coached by faculty and leading business practitioners.

In their second year, students take courses from Johnson's large and ever-evolving set of electives. They have the flexibility to take an intensive at Cornell Tech in New York City or electives at Cornell University's other top-ranked schools in Ithaca.
