A. Our live-online programs are delivered in real-time to create an interactive, high-impact virtual environment where you learn from faculty, industry leaders, and peers. We have thought carefully about the format for these programs. Research shows that short sessions online are more effective than long blocks of time, so we have purposefully created program schedules where you’ll receive Booth's rigorous content in short, digestible sessions held several times each week over multiple weeks. This design helps you fit the program into your busy schedule while also giving you an opportunity to reflect and apply program concepts in between sessions.
A. The same program design principles apply to all of our live-online programs, but the details will vary. Please refer to the specific program agenda to review the session dates and times. You can also view a high-level schedule by clicking on the “Register now” button, which will take you to a summary page with the program details.
A. We strongly encourage you to attend all live sessions. Like an in-person classroom, the more committed each participant is to learning and participating in the moment, the more rich and robust the experience is for everyone. We realize, though, that it may not always be possible to attend all sessions in real-time. If you need to miss a live session, please reach out to your program manager in advance.

When you successfully complete the program, you will receive a digital certificate of completion, a digital badge credential that you can share among your social networks, access to the Executive Education private LinkedIn group, and a subscription to the Chicago Booth Review—the official publication of the business school.
