Specialized Masters Applications Now Open

Take the first step toward jump-starting your future career in business by applying to one of our specialized masters programs.

Chicago Booth’s specialized masters programs serve as a great next step for current seniors in undergrad or recent graduates who are looking to pursue a career in business.

Booth’s Master in Management (MiM) is a 10-month program for recent college graduates who did not earn a bachelor of business administration degree. As a MiM student, you’ll have the opportunity to build upon the critical thinking skills you gathered in college while gaining foundational business expertise needed to thrive in the business world.

Booth’s Master in Finance (MiF) is a 15-month program that targets recent college graduates with a quantitative background. As a MiF student, you have the opportunity to build upon your quant skills in order to secure roles in asset management, investment banking, or fintech.

Both programs offer a pathway to kick off your career in business with confidence. If you are interested in taking the next step toward positioning yourself for successful progression in the business world, we invite you to look at the information listed below as you begin preparing your application:

Specialized Masters Requirements

As part of the application process for both programs, you are required to submit your essays, two letters of recommendation, transcript(s), and standardized test score(s). We also require you to have graduated from or be on track to graduate with an undergraduate degree. We encourage you to check out our full list of application requirements for MiM and MiF as you start crafting your application.

*We accept the GMAT and GRE. There is no preference on which exam you should take.
