Chicago Booth is truly global. We were the first US business school to establish permanent campuses on three continents, allowing us to bring business leaders from more than 47 countries together each year. This creates a unique learning environment where students gain just as many insights from their diverse classmates as they do from their award-winning professors. And the insights don’t end there; as an Executive MBA student you gain access to a powerful, connected, and supportive global community that will champion you for life.
No matter which campus you attend, you’ll experience Chicago Booth faculty teaching the same courses that are delivered in the Full-Time MBA Program. Our faculty travel to Europe and Asia to teach in person and are committed to providing a foundation in the fundamental tools of business.
While the curriculum is the same, the program format differs from campus-to-campus in order to best serve students in each region.
Classes meet at the Gleacher Center on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday four times a quarter. Nearly 70 percent of our students commute from outside of Chicago to attend the Executive MBA Program. This format works well for busy professionals who plan to travel in on a Wednesday night and be back home by Saturday evening.
Chicago Campus
Classes at our London campus take place over a week-long format, from Monday morning to Saturday afternoon. There are 16 class weeks during the 21 month program. Students in our London cohort travel from across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The week-long time frame works well when managing against various time zones and work schedules.
London Campus
Similar to our London campus, students in Hong Kong take classes during 16 week-long sessions that start on Monday and go through Saturday afternoon over the course of the 21 month program. Traveling in from across the Asia-Pacific region, our students value this dedicated time to study, talk with professors, and stay in residence together for an intensely focused, academic experience.
Hong Kong CampusIt’s important to note that even though you select a campus of choice, you have abundant opportunities to network and study alongside the global cohort. All Executive MBA students complete five weeks of international sessions, with three taking place in Chicago, one in London and one in Hong Kong. Additionally, you have the flexibility to take classes at the other campuses when your business needs suit it.
