The University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, also known as Chicago GSB, is one of the leading business schools in the world, the second oldest in the United States, and the first to offer the Executive MBA (EMBA) program.

Its flagship campus is located in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois on the grounds of the university at large. The school also maintains additional campuses in London and Singapore, and downtown on the Magnificent Mile.

While recognized for the excellence of its graduate business programs in general, the school's research reputation is particularly notable in the fields of finance, economics, quantitative marketing and accounting.

The school's global alumni network consists of leaders in for-profit, non-profit, governmental, public policy and academic enterprises. (wikipedia.org)
