Our dedication to challenging the status quo and testing new ideas carries over into a community that fosters your best, boldest thinking.
At Chicago Booth, you’ll join a collaborative community of people who share your passion for discovery.
They’ll join you in going beyond your comfort zone and emerging stronger, more self-aware, and more self-assured. They’ll push you, support you, stand by you, have your back, and cheer you on—and challenge you to be your best.
At Chicago Booth, we believe that the best ideas emerge from diverse backgrounds and multiple perspectives. We have a deep and longstanding commitment to diversity of background, experience, and thought.
We actively recruit international students and support students from underrepresented groups—including students of color, women, and LGBTQ students—through admissions events, partnerships with national organizations, and campus groups devoted to inclusion.

Learn to Lead“Through recruiting, study groups, Random Walks, ski trips, and spring breaks, I spent a lot of quality time with my classmates.

I could spend hours preparing for interviews with a group and then go learn dance from a classmate preparing for a performance.”
