At Chicago Booth, it's all about the idea.

Our learning environment is collaborative and without hierarchy.  Students are expected to voice their questions and dissent, whether the idea is presented by a classmate or a professor.  This is how our ideas evolve into prosperous business ventures and world-changing practices.

Our learning environment embraces a discipline-based approach to the analysis of ideas.  Students learn to evaluate problems and opportunities through the fundamental disciplines that underlie business:  accounting, economics, psychology, sociology, and statistics.  This is how our graduates transcend trends and thrive in dynamic markets across all industries.

Our learning environment is based on one essential fact:  there are neither enough formulas nor business cases to span the range of decisions faced in the course of a career.  We prepare our students with knowledge, a command of the relevant tools, and, most important, the ability to decisively think through unique problems and opportunities and the ideas they generate.  This is how Chicago prepares you to lead.
