TECHNOLOGY
Technology improvements in the last three academic years:
Implementation of a web-based student study room reservations systems. The new system supports various browsers and provides download capability of room reservations to smart phones. Booth deployed a web-based recruiter and student global talent system, GTS, to manage student career opportunities. The systems allows recruiters to post jobs on-line and students to apply and/or bid for jobs via a user-friendly web interface. Students and vendors are participating in a pilot to access Booth web applications via a smart phone. An on-line curriculum system replaced the paper-based guide. The system provides students real-time curriculum and schedule information as well as robust search capabilities. Booth alumni now have access to a web-based alumni administration system which is a community directory to update profiles and share information. Students also have a web-based administration and bidding system for classes.

Organizations that send the most participants to the part-time MBA program:作者: s 时间: 2010-10-9 21:22
Chicago Booth has been a phenomenal program. Flying every weekend from Omaha to Chicago is certainly not easy, but I've found that with careful planning and balance, I have been able to obtain an amazing education. I imagine many prospective students feel limited to the geography where they live and don't realize programs like Chicago Booth exist.
Attending Chicago Booth certainly met my expectations in providing me with a strong foundation of business knowledge, but what surprised me was how much I learned about myself in the process. Group work, LEAD, and unique course offerings, such as Business Policy, really helped me become more self-aware and connect in new ways with peers and colleagues.作者: s 时间: 2010-10-9 21:22
One of the drawbacks of a part-time program is that everyone is so busy with work and school, and if any of them have families too, there just isn't enough time in the day to socialize and network outside of class, too. It forces all events to be more scheduled and formal than I would prefer.
It is amazing how much I have learned in the past few years and how impressed my managment has been with some of the concepts I have been able to apply in the office. It really allowed me to expand outside of the assigned responsibilities of the job and make a great contribution to the company. I also gained a lot of confidence to express my opinion and take on a leadership role wherever possible.作者: s 时间: 2010-10-9 21:23
Chicago Booth has some of the best faculty in the finance and economics arena. The statistics program is also solid and marketing is not far behind in terms of quality. The program is difficult but worth every effort. The students are also very intelligent and willing to work hard up until the end.
I wanted to learn finance and economics, and I got that and more. The finance and economics education I experienced far exceeded my expectations, and then I even expanded into entrepreunership, managerial and organizational behavior, and international classes. I gained tremendous depth and breadth in a school that is often knocked for being too quant focused. Furthermore, professors and students were top-notch (especially after hearing from friends in other programs).作者: s 时间: 2010-10-9 21:23
The greatest strength was the professors' ability to tie real-world application to theory. Secondly, most of my professors had leading-edge research published, and they often provided excellent synthesis of general research/case studies/articles. The best professors engaged the classes to have the students bring out their experiences. The only weakness I can think of are those few professors who were a little too caught up in the theory without having true professional experience. But that was the exception. For example, I had a mix of strictly academic minds, while also learning from a former CEO and an economist currently working at the Fed as two non-academic examples.
I narrowed my choices down to Northwestern University and the University of Chicago. The faculty, flexibility of the curriculum, and my experiences with current students determined which program became my first choice.作者: s 时间: 2010-10-9 21:23
After over two years in the program, I'm a believer in the flexibility offered by the Chicago Booth Evening and Weekend MBA program. As part-time students, there is never a concern that we are an after thought to the full-time program. Rather, we are an integral part of the Booth community, and the faculty and office make this very clear from the outset. Especially in the current poor economic climate, the ability to design one's program flexibly and to continue to gain professional experience are highly valued features.
Evening and weekend events were planned a couple times per quarter to foster growth of the community and networking among students.作者: s 时间: 2010-10-9 21:24
The strengths of professors were their interest in quality teaching, openness to discussing the subject matter without restrictions and the overall energy they brought to the classsroom. The biggest weakness was too much emphasis on quantitative subject matter, even when qualitative approaches may have been more helpful, educational, and interesting.
Often, a handful of students would dominate classroom discussions to accumulate "participation points." While I understand that professors want an interactive enviroment with the students, eliminating these points may have shut up the people who had nothing of value to add but just wanted some points.作者: s 时间: 2010-10-9 21:25

I can honestly say that I've never been educated to the extent that I have been at Chicago. The professors are world class, and they teach not only intuitively but also theory interlaced with real-world application. It is a difficult program, and we have exactly the same professors as the full-time program, but it is harder since we are more competitive and have full-time jobs often with families in the balance.
The program has exceeded my expectations by a long shot, and although the class participation grading is a bit subjective, the faculty and quality of the teaching more than makes up for it in our enhanced skill set and knowledge.作者: s 时间: 2010-10-9 21:27

I've been pretty disappointed with my experiences with the administrative face of the program. The GSB/Chicago Booth program office has some well meaning people, but the class bidding process is a nightmare. The dean is very unresponsive to student concerns. On the other hand, the instructors in the program are incredible and the rigor of the curriculum is fantastic.
There is almost too much to do. You are constantly bombarded with e-mails about various activities and presentations and group activities. It is easy to become overwhelmed.作者: s 时间: 2010-10-9 21:28
I wanted to attend a part-time program that was indecipherable from its full-time counterpart. The program should provide me with access to the same quality education and experience that the full-time program was known for. At Chicago Booth, not only was I learning from the same faculty, but I also had the same extracurricular experience, access to experiential learning, flexibility in learning, and career support as the full-time program.
I would want to go through the full-time program. Being a weekend student, I missed out on some (but not all) of the top professors and courses. In addition, I was unable to attend any of the various activities throughout the week because I lived out of town.作者: s 时间: 2010-10-9 21:29
I would ban the use of laptops in class. It needs to be a more professional environment. Some students treated MBA classes like undergrad classes.
The faculty are definitely on the cutting edge of research and new topics in their respective field. I have no question that the content of this MBA program is about as good as it gets. However I'd say that teaching ability ranges across a wide spectrum. Some professors are definitely better at guiding discussion than others. It's evident that each faculty member has a lot to impart, some are just better than others at leading the students to the conclusion through thoughtful questions and segues while others provide the information outright.作者: s 时间: 2010-10-9 21:29
Chicago Booth brings an analytical component to all subjects in the MBA curriculum. Even concepts taught in HR or management classes are backed up with empirical evidence from research. While this approach was highly satisfying for me, it may not serve others as well. For instance, success in many classes depended on the strength of a person's analytical abilities. I would say that the key to success in many of the projects assigned had to do with intense analysis on the front end and then successfully executing that winning strategy. For someone who is more innovative-minded or adaptive, he may get more out of another program.
University of Chicago's flexible curriculum and acceptance of students taking time off to pursue an internship is a practical program for students who know what their career goal is and have the determination to achieve it. University of Chicago's part-time program appears to be the program that really can enable students to gear their career goals to where they want (as long as the students work as hard as they should).作者: s 时间: 2010-10-9 21:30
There is no question in my mind that the business program at the GSB is the top program in the country. The relevance of cutting-edge research and faculty involved in industry and government was never more evident than amid the financial crisis over the last year. In addition, since economic fundamentals are the basis for all business disciplines, Chicago has a huge advantage over other schools because of its strength in economics and the high degree of overlap between the economics department and business school, to say nothing of the opportunity to gain the quantitative foundation that the school is known for.作者: s 时间: 2010-10-9 21:32
Raise the bar for admissions. Do not create discrimination between full- and part-time students. Provide more opportunities to build community. Replace the current dean of career services, who is biased toward the full-time program. Provide the same level of career services to part-time students as full-time students.
Chicago Booth has great events. There are student club meetings, guest speakers, confereneces, brown bag series, and countless others.
