chicago booth: a traDition oF excellence

the Chicago approach to Business EducationThe Chicago Approach is based on an essential fact: there are neither enough formulas nor business cases to span the range of high-stakes decisions faced in the course of a career. We favor fundamental academic disciplines—sociology, psychology, economics, and statistics—over fads, and develop critical thinkers who can assess any challenge or opportunity.

Our learning environment is characterized by a demand for facts, a distrust of assumptions, and a desire to evaluate problems from all angles in search of a provisional best solution. We prepare our students with knowledge, a command of the essential tools, and the ability to think through unique problems, make decisions, and lead.

the University of ChicagoFounded in 1890, the University of Chicago is one of the world’s great research and teaching universities, producing research that shapes the modern worldview in fields as diverse as genetics, physics, economics, and philosophy. More than 80 Nobel Prize winners have been associated with the university as students, faculty, or researchers.
