When you’re pursuing an MBA while taking your career to the next level, a powerful community of support is an essential factor in your success. If you’re looking for an immersive MBA experience on a part-time schedule, the Chicago Booth Evening and Weekend MBA programs give you the professional and academic support you need to thrive, all while in a flexible environment. Hear from Part-Time MBA students about why their community is vital to their Booth experience, from classroom dynamics to the power of the alumni network.
Sina Malekian: First thing that comes to mind for why I would tell a prospective student to choose Booth is the network, the alumni network and the current students as well.
Fabi Sanzi: Yeah, it's extremely collaborative. People really are not shy to contribute in class. I always felt like my opinion was valued even if there were diverse points of view.
Christina Starks: Boothies are quite diverse but there's something that connects us that's very tangible
Kenny Bourgon: Especially in navigating a new job or getting into an industry, where you're not familiar with, it was really helpful to talk to other students who had been in those shoes
Christina Starks: And most of us have full-time jobs, projects, and families so you know, we get it when something comes up. Everybody's so understanding and collaborative.
Fabi Sanzi: So I think there's a really strong community after you graduate of Boothies, like helping other Boothies.
