Why Choose the Lake Forest MBA Program?
As an independent, not-for-profit organization, we put your educational interests first. Because we focus on the working professional, we've designed our program around what working professionals say is most important in an MBA education. The combined strengths of our curriculum, faculty, students, and administration set us apart from other Chicago business schools.
- Lake Forest's broad, general management curriculum will provide you with the conceptual perspectives, the functional skills, and the practical tools to lead or manage almost any type of business situation. The contemporary content of our courses means your Lake Forest MBA will be relevant to the issues you face today.
- You will benefit from direct access to our 100% practitioner faculty of industry leaders and successful business professionals who make important decisions for leading Chicago area companies every day. They are in touch with current business issues, and bring a wealth of business knowledge – both theoretical and practical – to the classroom.
- At Lake Forest, you won’t interact with inexperienced teaching assistants or research-focused professors with expertise in theory but not in practice. You will learn and understand how business executives become business leaders.
- You will be challenged by and partner with experienced professional classmates in small, dynamic classroom settings that stimulate creative problem solving and skill development.
- Your Lake Forest MBA learning will be immediately applicable to your current workplace challenges, so you can leverage your learning investment right away, and throughout your MBA career. You won’t find this high level of meaningfulness, practicality, and business relevance at every Chicago business school; but at Lake Forest it’s what we teach every day.
- You will experience being treated professionally – with interest and responsiveness – by an approachable, collaborative organization solely focused on developing tomorrow’s business leaders.
