In our global community, you’ll build lifelong connections and earn an MBA from the best business school in the world.
Evening MBA and Weekend MBA students are not eligible for student visas. Admission to Chicago Booth does not guarantee non-immigrant status in the United States. Please see your nearest US Embassy if you have questions about your status.
An international applicant is anyone who is not a United States citizen or a permanent resident in the United States at the time of application to Chicago Booth. International students follow the same application process as US-based students, but with a few additional requirements. Here’s what you need to know.
All international applicants are required to hold a college or university degree equivalent to a four-year American baccalaureate degree. In light of the Bologna Accord, Chicago Booth also accepts candidates with three-year international degrees.
If English is not your native language, you’ll need to submit proof of English proficiency by taking the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS).
This requirement can be waived if you:
Please note this exemption in the application.
Please send your TOEFL scores to Booth using our test code, 1832-02.
TOEFL and IELTS scores are valid for two years, after which your score will be considered expired. If your score has expired, you must retake the examination and submit the official scores before the application deadline.
