The 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.
Chicago Booth faculty are world-renowned professors with practical experience. Our faculty
collaborate and consult with firms, serve on corporate boards, and start their own companies.
They are sought out for expert analysis and advice by government and business leaders
worldwide. Because our professors teach a masterful mix of theory and application, you can
start applying what you learn from day one.
Chicago Booth teaches you an approach to problem solving that will positively affect every
aspect of your career—and your life.
We teach you to question assumptions, separate fact from fiction, analyze information,
anticipate needs, and creatively craft the best solutions.
