Booth School of Business
It's one of the oldest business schools in the U.S., and it's also been repeatedly ranked the best. What was formerly known as the Graduate School of Business was renamed the Booth School in 2008 in honor of David Booth, MBA alum and CEO of Dimensional Fund Advisors, who donated $300 million to his alma mater. His donation is the largest sum ever given to a B-school, but Chicago has always been a school of firsts: the first to establish an executive MBA, the first to have permanent campuses on three continents, and the first and only to have six Nobel Prize winners on its faculty.

Chicago's emphasis on innovation allows for a great deal of variety in the paths students take that lead to a business degree. The Booth student can enroll in a full-time, part-time, executive, or international MBA. Those who want to pursue additional degree options can earn a joint degree in law, medicine, and PhD studies.

A New Home
For students in the full-time MBA program at Chicago Booth, the Charles M. Harper Center on the University of Chicago's Hyde Park campus is the place they spend the day. Opened in fall of 2004, it was designed to bring everything students need under one roof, including classrooms, a variety of study spaces, and a locker room with enough space to store a suit on days when recruiters visit campus.

Designed by renowned architect Rafael Viñoly, the signature feature of the Harper Center is the Rothman Winter Garden, an informal gathering space that fills with students and conversation between classes. The glass ceiling soars 83 feet over an indoor garden and is topped by prominent Gothic arches.

From Orientation On
Beyond the classroom, a Booth education encompasses a wide range of experiences, from student groups to academic initiatives. In Leadership Effectiveness & Development (LEAD), students work on such key management skills as negotiation, team-building, and giving feedback. Here, students tug for their lives—and for the pride of their cohorts—during an activity for LEAD, which is the only required course for the all Booth students. The program begins at orientation with a LEAD Outdoor Experience, including ropes courses and climbing walls. Booth also hosts the Chicago MBA Olympics and organizes Random Walks, where students can register for one of 27 week-long pre-Booth trips to different parts of the world, such as Fiji, Panama, Guatemala, and even a "mystery" location.

In the Classroom
Chicago Booth's flexible curriculum sets it apart from other B-schools. With just one required course, the curriculum allows students to tailor their own education toward their individual interests. The full-time MBA program enrolls just over 1,000 students, and each core class has an average of 59 students. Chicago's alumni base includes some of the most influential players in the business arena: The former CEOs of Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Merrill Lynch all earned their MBAs from Chicago.

Even the faculty at Booth is star-studded. At lunchtime lectures throughout the academic year, students hear from prominent business leaders and faculty presenting their latest research. Shown here teaching a lunchtime lecture is professor Steven Levitt, author of the bestseller Freakonomics and director of the Becker Center on Price Theory, a leading research facility at Booth.

Faculty
The classroom experience combines the rigorous debate of ideas with insights from the Nobel laureates, Presidential appointees, and leading researchers who comprise the Chicago Booth faculty. Despite the caliber and reputation of the professors, students find the faculty, such as Tanya Menon, associate professor of behavioral science (above), approachable and often continue the conversation after class.

Chicago Booth's faculty mirrors the intelligence and diversity of Booth's students; more than one-third of the faculty is international, and 165 of the 175 faculty members have earned PhDs. Half of the full-time professors are tenured.

Participation Points
At Booth, students aren't expected to follow academic rules. Instead, they're encouraged to take an active part in classroom discussions and in their own education. As one graduate of the MBA program, responding to a BusinessWeek survey, noted in true business student style, "Returns to investment will be lifelong and significantly higher than expectations."

Since collaboration is part of the experience at Chicago Booth, the Harper Center has more than 30 group study rooms with state-of-the-art technology, like the one pictured here, where students can work together on projects.

Events and Activities
Chicago Booth students are committed to their shared passion for business far beyond the classroom. With a flurry of guest speakers, a decades-old annual management conference attended by over 1,000 people, and more than 20 different career-focused clubs to join, students are inundated with innumerable ways to enhance their business savvy. But for a break from the world of business, the student-led Graduate Business Council hosts LPFs—Liquidity Preference Functions—on Friday afternoons. These gatherings give students, their partners, and their families a chance to relax and socialize amidst food, entertainment, and liquid refreshment after a week filled with classes.

Student Athletic Clubs
The shore of Lake Michigan is just a 10-minute walk from campus. For decades, the lakefront has been a popular spot for jogging, bicycling, swimming, or simply strolling. Though the icy Midwestern winters limit outdoor activity (except for the Chicago Booth ski and snowboard clubs), fall and spring ensure a wide variety of outdoor activities. Other athletic clubs include the soccer, swim, yoga, volleyball, rugby, and sailing clubs.

Serious Studying
One of the quietest places at the Harper Center is the Alper Study, which provides study cubicles and comfortable seating around a limestone fireplace. Large windows overlook the summer garden.

Academic Challenge
A study lounge expressly for Chicago Booth students provides additional quiet space in Ida Noyes Hall. Students at Booth do a great deal of studying, and the intense two-year full-time MBA leaves students working hard the whole time. In fact, it's known to be one of the most analytical programs among the top business schools. Says one MBA graduate surveyd by BusinessWeek: "It is a transformative experience, but not one that comes easily."

Inter-Class Recreation
Taking a break takes many forms in the Peter W. May Student Lounge, which provides a casual space, complete with pool tables and flat-screen televisions, where students can relax, socialize, or grab a bite to eat. The adjacent Kovler Café is open until 10 p.m. on weekdays when classes are in session.

Recruiting
Career Services hosts events throughout the year to help students explore options and prepare for the next step in their careers. Career Networking Night, shown here, is where students talk informally with company representatives one-on-one. The event gives recruiters a chance to get to know the student behind the résumé.

And the typical student behind a Chicago Booth résumé is worth getting to know, from an employer's standpoint. About 95% of students have jobs after gaining their MBA. Top recruiters include Lehman Brothers, McKinsey & Company, and JPMorgan. The average salary of a Booth student shoots from $78,000 pre-MBA to $105,000 post-MBA.

Transglobal Campuses
Students often head to the Gleacher Center at Chicago Booth's downtown campus to take courses, attend conferences organized by alumni or student groups, and to study. Located in the center of the city's business district, Chicago Booth's downtown campus is right on the Chicago River and just off Michigan Avenue, nicknamed the "Magnificent Mile" for its upscale shopping. Additional Chicago Booth campuses are located in London and Singapore and are used for the executive MBA programs.

Hyde Park
Hyde Park was once the center of global attention when it was the site of fairgrounds for the 1892 Chicago World's Fair. Hyde Park is more modernly known as a residential neighborhood replete with bookstores, cafés, and architecture, but Chicago students can still experience 19th century resplendency with the Olympic-sized skating rink located on the Midway Plaisance, formerly a part of the fairgrounds.

Hyde Park lies just seven miles south of the Chicago Loop—the hub of the city—and public transportation makes it easy for students to travel quickly and cheaply between Hyde Park and the city.

Windy City Skyline
To those who call the Second City home, there's nothing secondary about it. Though Chicago's frigid weather challenges its residents every winter, the city is renowned for its museums, jazz clubs, baseball fields, vibrant ethnic communities, deep-dish pizza, and outdoor summer festivals like the Chicago Blues Festival. It's also a top U.S. city in which to conduct business.
