The Daytime MBA

All the power and relevance of the Lake Forest MBA experience — with another convenient scheduling option.

  • An accelerated course schedule that allows you to graduate in only two years
  • A streamlined admissions process
  • A practical business education model that broadens your thinking and expands your career possibilities
  • Relevant learning from business-leader faculty
  • Unique options for career re-launchers, including coaching services and special seminars

LFGSM’s Daytime MBA, is about more than just convenience. It’s about a program that fits into your life.

It’s about faculty who understand your talents and experience. It’s about classmates who are as smart and ambitious as you are. It’s about lessons from the real world, not from dusty textbooks or business consultants who have never run an organization. And in the end, it’s about fast-tracking the Chicago area’s best and brightest through a two-year MBA program that will have far-reaching impact on their careers, their companies and their families.

LFGSM’s Daytime MBA is designed for anyone who meets LFGSM’s admissions criteria and is available to take classes during the day. While the majority of Daytime MBA students will be currently unemployed during their studies, some will be those who find pursuing their MBA during the daytime hours fits better with their work schedules (like operations managers who oversee the third shift at their manufacturing plant). Special options for career re-launchers are offered à la carte and are not part of the required curriculum for all daytime students.
