3 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO AND CHICAGO BOOTH Part of the world-renowned University of Chicago, Chicago Booth is the secondoldest business school in the United States and one of the most distinguished. Our pathbreaking research and our innovations in business education including developing the first executive MBA program have produced ideas and leaders that shape the world of business. Our unparalleled faculty is famous for producing theories that change business practice. The university is home to more than 80 Nobel laureates, seven of whom have been Booth faculty. The Chicago Approach to Business Education Grounded in a fundamentals-based understanding of how organizations function, markets work, and people make decisions, our approach to business education resonates beyond the classroom. It s a distinct way of learning, analyzing, and behaving in the world. At Chicago Booth, we believe in data over dogma. You and your classmates will harness your experiences and the power of open, rigorous, and thoughtful inquiry to challenge assumptions and test and refine ideas. The Chicago Approach becomes a signature of our alumni s personal brand, giving them the ability to see connections that transcend accepted wisdom and empowering them to have greater and more enduring impact. 1

4 Gleacher Center, Chicago THE WORLD S PREMIER EXECUTIVE MBA PROGRAM In 1943, Chicago Booth began the Executive MBA Program, the first of its kind in the world. Today, we remain leaders in the field. With permanent campuses on three continents, all offering the same courses, the same distinguished Chicago Booth faculty, and the same prestigious MBA degree, the program can truly be called pure Chicago. 2

6 CURRICULUM The Executive MBA is a general management program with a curriculum that includes the same courses, taught by Chicago Booth faculty, on all three campuses. Students also have the option to focus on an area of elective study. Foundations (3 Courses) These courses focus on developing analytical tools and knowledge that supports the rest of the curriculum. Functions (5 Courses), Management (7 Courses), Business Environment (2 Courses) These courses cover basic business functions (finance, marketing, and operations); management (decisions, people, and strategy); as well as the business environment in which firms operate. Electives (3 5 Courses) and Focused Areas of Study During the program, students have the opportunity to take three to five electives that vary from year to year. Frequently these courses are on cutting-edge or advanced topics. Students can choose to focus on one key area of business: capital markets, corporate finance, entrepreneurship, marketing, strategy, or leadership and management. Leadership Training Leadership Exploration and Development (LEAD) is a required course in which students work on key leadership skills, such as building self-awareness, creating effective teams, and enhancing leadership presence and impact.
