Chicago Booth MBA Program Highlights

The University of Chicago Graduate School of Business has a pioneering legacy. It was the first institution to initiate a PhD program in 1920 and the first to house a minority relations program in 1964. Along with having a Nobel laureate on its faculty, it is a breeding ground for cutting edge thinkers and has housed six Nobel Prize winners.

Fields of Expertise

With concentrations ranging from finance to international business, each program examines both analytical and conceptual methods of thinking so that students are able to solve problems before they even arise.

The program’s most notable areas of concentration are finance and accounting, and it is not uncommon for a professor to also serve as a corporate or governmental consultant.

Leadership Exploration and Development (LEAD)

Regardless of past experience or area of concentration, all full-time students are required to participate in the LEAD program. While participating in LEAD, students will examine ways to capitalize their strengths and recognize ways to improve their weaknesses.  

This program also implements grade nondisclosure to encourage students to share ideas and collaborate.

Flexibility

Chicago GSB offers multiple enrollment options to ensure that all admits are able to take advantage of the program’s faculty and resources. Students can choose between full-time and part-time/weekend enrollment without worrying the difference in quality and spectrum of course offerings. While part-time students do not participate in LEAD or share the same grade nondisclosure agreement, their personal lives and careers benefit from the flexibility of their schedules. 

Opportunities Abroad

Students who enroll in the Executive MBA Program— a track that emphasizes managerial leadership skills, will have the opportunity to live and study with faculty on either the Chicago GSB campus in London or Singapore. In addition all other programs offer ample chances for students to travel and gain work experience in countless countries across the globe.
