Continually confronted with unique challenges in the workplace and when working through the application process, our supportive community celebrates women's unique perspectives and highlights their accomplishments. In the Part-Time MBA Program, Graduate Women in Business (GWB) provides a forum for professional development, mentoring, and networking both within the school and in the community at large.

5% Veterans
Since 2006, the number of veteran MBA students enrolled at Chicago Booth has increased nearly 300 percent. As the community has grown, our Armed Forces Group (AFG) has been instrumental in offering mentorship and support to veterans applying for and pursuing their MBA. Beyond the Booth community, veterans and active members of the military also have access to a wide array of resources within the greater University of Chicago.

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
