Chicago Booth School of Business

Chicago Booth offers Full-time, Part-time (Evening and Weekend) and Executive MBA programs. The University is also a major center for educating future academics, with graduate programs offering the A.M. and Ph.D. degrees in several fields.
The program allows students to largely structure their own course of study subject to the constraint of a broad set of requirements. This is in contrast to other top-tier business schools, which impose a cohort or learning team system that includes coursework to be completed in a pre-determined order. The program differentiates itself by allowing students the flexibility to construct a program of study that is tailored to their needs, and can be as broad or deep as they choose. There is only one required course for full-time and part-time program students: LEAD (Leadership Effectiveness and Development), which students take in their first quarter for full-time students and within the first four quarters for part-time students. LEAD focuses on the fundamental skills of leadership: motivating people, building relationships, and influencing outcomes. Students in the full time program may earn an International MBA, or IMBA, by studying abroad on exchange with another business school, taking certain electives, and by demonstrating oral proficiency in a second, non-native language.
The school's Executive MBA program is unique in that students may elect to spend the required residential periods on all three of the school's campuses worldwide (London, Chicago, Singapore), while also employing the cohort system. In Business Week Executive MBA Ranking 2009 the University of Chicago Booth School of Business landed in second place. The University of Chicago Booth School of Business has begun a new program using Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and YouTube to reach prospective part-time M.B.A students.
