The B5001 Financial Accounting Course

financial reporting. The required text book for B5001 Financial Accounting course at Columbia is Financial Accounting for MBAs, by Easton, Wild, Halsey & McAnally (EWHM).

Columbia Business School Tutoring Support Options

The University’s MBA program is focused on getting students ready for their career and entrepreneurship-related challenges. And as a part of this, they ensure ample support is given to students in academic areas and in grasping concepts needed to face the business world. Tutoring is one of the many forms of academic support given by the University.

Realizing that every student is different and that some can find the course structure quite daunting, every student is given 20 lifetime hours of free peer academic subject tutoring for core courses and the prerequisite finance elective, Capital Markets & Investments. Tutoring for core courses and Capital Markets & Investments is given only when the students are enrolled in these courses.

Students enrolled in programs other than the MBA can check with the Office of Student Affairs to check their eligibility for tutoring.

The Business School uses software called TutorTrac, an online tutor booking system. The students can log in using their ID and book time with tutors. Students tutored in a group of two or more can pool their hours (i.e. one-hour session that two students attend and validate will ultimately only count as 30 minutes towards the 20 hours.) Additional hours beyond the 20 allocated may be granted at the discretion of the Office of Student Affairs.

OSA has also published a document to help students around with using this software. (TutorTrac Doc)

In addition, if students feel they need extra help with other courses, they should meet a member of OSA and get in touch with their academic advisors who can guide them further. If the free tutoring hours allotted are insufficient or tutoring is not available for the chosen course, students may ask their professors to recommend a previous student who has done well in the course. The student may then ask those recommended students if they are interested in tutoring and come to terms regarding the fee, time, etc.

Columbia Business School was founded in 1916 to prepare undergraduate and graduate Columbia University students for business. However, today Columbia Business School offers only graduate programs. Graduate Tutor’s CPA and MBA tutors provide live online tutoring support for a variety of Columbia Business School courses aimed at Columbia’s MBA and Executive MBA students.

English Language Tutoring

International MBA students are eligible to receive five hours of tutoring per semester, twenty hours in total. If the student is interested in taking up English tutoring besides the academic courses, they can get in touch with OSA to inquire further via tutor@gsb.columbia.edu and the student will be added to the English tutoring list in TutorTrac. The resumes of the tutors will be shared with the student and he/she can schedule classes with the tutor of their choice. Instructions on how to schedule appointments in TutorTrac are available here.
