Booth School of Business

-I think if you live in or around Chicago, are seeking access to a top-flight faculty (that is the same for the full-time program as the part-time program), and are looking for access to networking with well-connected alumni, Booth should be your first choice.

-I really liked the fact that the evening and weekend classes are taught by the same professors as full time. Also there is lot of flexibility in course work. Classes are graded across full-time and part-time sections.

-It could have offered more opportunity to part-time students to get involved in On-Campus recruiting. Whether overt or not, it seems that priority access to this program goes to the full-time students.

-My MBA program not only changed my career aspirations, but how I view both my professional and personal life entirely. Booth completely transformed my mode of thinking, allowing me to grow as a leader, business professional, and person. I know understand my strengths and weaknesses, and have learned to maximize my value in any organization.

-The experience was wonderful -- it would have been nice if scholarships were available for students who were not being fully (or partially) reimbursed by their firms.

-I feel that I've grown as a person in what I've learned from Chicago Booth. This school offers me opportunities to learn things that I would have never had opportunities to learn if I had gone to a school that was purely marketing and/or filled with people of the same background as me.

-The career services office for the Weekend / Part-Time program is very weak. The career services office for the Full-Time students is very strong and so there's quite a difference between the two programs in terms of support. If career services was as supportive as the career services full-time counterpart then this would definitely boost the part-time program.

-Chicago Booth has one of the most rigorous programs to prepare its students for their career advancement and increased responsibilities. The flexibility of the program allows working students to take up to 5 years to complete their degrees. They can take classes during day time (full time courses), weeknights, and also weekends. There is also a lot of mingling with full time students as most of them choose to attend the evening or weekend classes.

-There should be more interaction with full time students through various clubs. The weekend MBA program should have more flexibility and course options equivalent to the evening MBA program. The faculty should keep extended office hours at the Part Time campus to provide better accessibility in person to students working full time.

-The program at Chicago Booth is great for working professionals. The biggest asset is flexibility in choosing courses as well as pace of study. The faculty is outstanding and fellow students are from different backgrounds making the class experience intellectually rewarding. The curriculum is rigorous making the class challenging and resulting in learning new skills.

-Tuition rates are criminal; I will not donate a dime to this school once I graduate.

-The Booth program stands out from other programs due to three key reasons: 1. Rigor of the program 2. Flexibility in curriculum 3. Single program between part time and full time programs. The focus on rigorous academic instruction that inculcated a sense of academic curiosity in students sets Booth alumni apart. The flexibility in the curriculum that allows even part timers to pick and choose their classes of choice and define their own path for the program is unparalleled. The fact that the faculty, students and curriculum are the same across the part time and full time programs make Booth distinct. In addition with such exceptional, world-renowned faculty, Booth stands out.

-The program could be smaller in order to create a more tailored class with diverse backgrounds and proven ability. The program office could promote our quality more by advertising our GMAT averages and work experience to the business community.

-The education I received was very quantitative and relevant to today's job market. I feel other programs, which focus more on social aspects do not provide a solid foundation for which to succeed. However, given this fact the students at my school were far less social and therefore it made networking with peers much more difficult.

-One of the greatest strengths of Chicago Booth is the faculty, and that they are at the forefront of research and the experts in the economic realm. Any business school can teach you about demand curves, but learning about macroeconomics from someone on the Fed board, or about strategy from the leading researchers really adds the value to the degree.
