Programs

Chicago GSB offers Full-time MBA, Part-time MBA, Weekend MBA 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 Charles M. Harper Center (formerly the Hyde Park Center) (Rafael Viñoly, architect).

The Full-time MBA, Part-time MBA and Weekend MBA, allow 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 program students: LEAD (Leadership Effectiveness and Development)[1], which students take in their first quarter. 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.

History

The University of Chicago Graduate School of Business was launched by faculty member James Laurence Laughlin in 1898. It is the second-oldest business school in the United States. The school was chartered officially as the College of Commerce and Administration. It was intended to be an extension of the University of Chicago’s founding principles of “scientific guidance and investigation of great economic and social matters of everyday importance,” as echoed by founding president William Rainey Harper. Patterned after the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, it originally served as a solely undergraduate institution until 1916, when academically oriented, research masters and later doctoral level degrees were introduced. The MBA was first offered in 1936, resulting in an eight year transition to the institution’s graduate-only status completed in 1950. In 1943, the school presaged the success of executive education programs in management education, launching the first ever Executive MBA program. The school is also notable in that, during the later half of the twentieth century, it was known for its role in the development of the "Chicago School", an economic philosophy focused on free-market, minimal government involvement, due to faculty and student interaction with members of the university's influential Department of Economics. In general, the GSB has been a first mover in many areas of business school education [2]: Year 1898 (MDCCCXCVIII) was a common year starting on Saturday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Monday of the 12-day-slower Julian calendar). ...
