Chicago Booth’s specialized masters programs serve as a great next step for current seniors in undergrad or recent graduates who are looking to pursue a career in business. Booth offers a Master in Management Program and the Asness and Liew Master in Finance Program.
Booth’s Master in Management (MiM) is a 10-month program for recent college graduates who did not earn a bachelor of business administration degree. As a MiM student, you’ll have the opportunity to build upon the critical thinking skills you gathered in college while gaining foundational business expertise needed to thrive in the business world.
The Master in Finance (MiF) is a 15-month program that targets recent college graduates with a quantitative background. As a MiF student, you have the opportunity to build upon your quant skills in order to secure roles in asset management, investment banking, or fintech.
Both programs offer a pathway to kick off your career in business with confidence. If you are interested in taking the next step towards positioning yourself for successful progression in the business world, check out the information listed to begin your application:
