The Cornell Johnson Graduate School of Management is the graduate business school of Cornell University, a private Ivy League research university in Ithaca, New York. Established in 1946, Johnson is one of six Ivy League business schools and offers the smallest full‑time MBA cohort of all Ivy League MBA programs, fostering an intimate and collaborative academic environment while also maintaining the third lowest acceptance rate. The Cornell Master of Business Administration (MBA) also offers a one-year Tech MBA at Cornell Tech in New York City, as well as the Cornell 1+1 MBA program, combining one year in Ithaca followed by one year at Cornell Tech. In 1984, Samuel Curtis Johnson Jr. and his family donated $20 million to the school, and in 2017 Herbert Fisk Johnson donated $150 million, the third largest gift to a business school in history. The endowment gift resulted in the school's renaming in honor of Johnson’s grandfather, Samuel Curtis Johnson, Sr., the founder of S.C. Johnson. Johnson Graduate School of Management consistently ranks among the top 10 MBA programs in the United States based on average total starting salary. Graduates of the Cornell MBA earned a median first-year salary of $175,000, in addition to a signing bonus of $38,826, with 77.9% reporting a sign-on bonus— ranking as the second highest total compensation among MBA programs in the United States in 2023. With more than 70% of graduates receiving a sign-on bonus on average, the Cornell Johnson Graduate School of Management consistently ranks among the top 10 business schools in the United States based on average total starting salary and job offer success rate prior to graduation. Cornell Johnson is known for its elite consulting placements, strong finance and investment banking outcomes, One-Year Tech MBA in New York City, immersion learning, and tight-knit cohorts. Johnson is especially recognized for its collaborative community and strong alumni ties across industries. With an acceptance rate of 27.1%, the Johnson Graduate School of Management is the seventh most selective business school in the United States, and one of the most selective business schools in the world. The Johnson School is housed in Sage Hall and supports more than 80 full-time faculty members. There are 600 students in the full-time, two-year Master of Business Administration program in Ithaca, as well as 40 Ph.D. students, all advised by Johnson faculty. The Johnson School is known for its rural setting and small class size — with close proximity to New York City. As such, both factors, combined with Johnson's commitment to the two-year MBA program in Ithaca and one-year MBA at Cornell Tech, contribute to its high giving rate of 1 in 4 among the 15,000 global Cornell MBA alumni, the third highest alumni giving rate of all Ivy League business schools. In 2017, Cornell University officially consolidated its two undergraduate business programs— the Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management and the Nolan School of Hotel Administration — into the Cornell Johnson Graduate School of Management, forming the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business. The merger followed a $150 million donation from Herbert Fisk Johnson III, chairman and CEO of S.C. Johnson, accompanied by a 3:1 matching grant for a total contribution of $300 million to Cornell Johnson. Upon capitalization, this donation will raise Cornell Johnson's endowment to $692 million, ranking the Cornell MBA third in endowment per student within the Ivy League, and seventh in the world.

The Association of MBAs (AMBA) is a global MBA-specific accreditation and membership organization founded in London in 1967. AMBA accredits around 2% of the world's business schools. Membership is limited to MBA students and graduates from the 233 accredited schools.

The London-based Association is one of the three main global accreditation bodies in business education (see Triple Accreditation) and styles itself "the world's impartial authority on postgraduate management education". It differs from AACSB in the US and EQUIS in Brussels as it accredits a school's portfolio of postgraduate management programs but does not accredited undergraduate programs. AMBA is the most international of the three organizations, having accredited schools based in 53 countries, compared with 48 for AACSB and 38 for EQUIS.

AMBA's long-serving president is Sir Paul Judge, the founding benefactor of Cambridge Judge Business School. The Chief Executive, Andrew Main Wilson, joined the Association in August 2013. The Chairman of the AMBA Board of Trustees, Len Jones, was elected in September 2014.
