Johnson School of Management
The Johnson School of Management is a business school located in Ithaca, New York, affiliated with Cornell University. The school offers graduate and undergraduate programs and participates in collaborations with institutions such as Weill Cornell Medicine, Cornell Tech, Johnson & Johnson, Goldman Sachs, and IBM. Known for integrating sectors like finance, healthcare, technology, and agribusiness, the school engages with organizations including McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, Morgan Stanley, Amazon (company), and Tesla, Inc..
Johnson traces roots to Cornell programs after World War II when institutions such as Harvard Business School and Wharton School shaped management education. The school evolved amid influences from figures like Peter Drucker, Alfred P. Sloan, Milton Friedman, and events like the Bretton Woods Conference that reframed global markets. Endowment growth followed gifts from donors tied to firms such as S.C. Johnson & Son and executives from AT&T, General Electric, and Procter & Gamble. Over decades Johnson expanded during periods marked by the Oil Crisis of 1973, the Dot-com bubble, and the 2008 financial crisis, adapting curricula to changes driven by companies including Apple Inc., Microsoft, Oracle Corporation, and SAP SE.
Johnson offers an MBA modeled alongside programs at INSEAD, London Business School, Stanford Graduate School of Business, and MIT Sloan School of Management. Degree options include full-time MBA, executive MBA, and master's tracks collaborating with Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell Law School. Specialized tracks align with industries represented by Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Bayer AG, Cargill, and Boeing. The school emphasizes experiential learning through partnerships with United Nations, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, PepsiCo, and Walmart. Dual-degree opportunities echo collaborations similar to those between Yale School of Management and other professional schools, and exchange programs connect to HEC Paris, National University of Singapore, Tsinghua University, and ESADE Business School.
Research at Johnson is organized into centers and institutes comparable to those at Brookings Institution and RAND Corporation in impact.

Collaborative projects have engaged with public-sector partners such as National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and United States Department of Agriculture.
Admissions processes reference practices used by Graduate Management Admission Council and metrics similar to cohorts at Columbia Business School and University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
