Do I need to be employed throughout my tenure at Chicago Booth?
The Evening MBA and Weekend MBA programs are designed for full-time working professionals. However, you do not need to retain full-time professional employment while a student in the Evening MBA and Weekend MBA Programs. If you elect to step out of the workforce, or if you lose your job, you have the flexibility to increase the number of courses taken per quarter; however, there is no option to transfer to the Full-Time MBA Program and not a guarantee that you will be able to take classes during the day in the Full-Time MBA Program. We understand that career decisions will be made throughout the time you are a student. The Evening MBA and Weekend MBA Programs Office and Career Services can assist you in navigating this process.
