In a recent post to the Admissions Blog of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business Evening MBA and Weekend MBA programs, Admissions Director Gretchen Cooper set out to dispel misconceptions that some may have about Booth just being good for finance or quantitative people. Entrepreneurs, too, will find a very strong program with lots to offer, she writes.
“Entrepreneurship is one of Booth’s most interesting facets,” says Cooper, noting that entrepreneurship is the second most popular of the school’s 14 concentrations. The Polsky Center provides resources and support for Booth students and alumni pursuing entrepreneurial ventures and private equity careers, and students can take part in an increasing number of hands-on experiential classes with an entrepreneurial focus, including the Social New Venture Challenge, the Social Entrepreneurship Lab and the Clean Tech Lab.
On Friday, June 3rd, Chicago Booth will host an open house for prospective applicants to the Evening MBA and Weekend MBA programs. This event will feature Craig Wortmann, a clinical associate professor and former CEO of two software companies, who teaches about entrepreneurship. Inc. Magazine recently ranked Wortmann’s class, Entrepreneurial Selling, as one of the top 10 entrepreneurship courses offered by a business school.
The open house event will take place on Friday, June 3rd, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Gleacher Center. To sign up, click here.
