Master in Management Degree

Length of Study

All Master in Management students have five years (20 quarters) to complete the degree requirements. Most students complete degree requirements in three quarters.

Students who wish to decelerate their program of study should meet with the dean of students to learn the implications of this decision.

Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes beginning Week 1 of the quarter through scheduled final exams. Any potential conflicts should be addressed with dean of students to ensure students remain on track to graduate as planned.

Students are expected to graduate in the quarter they complete their degree requirements. If a student fails to submit an application for graduation in the quarter the degree requirements are met, Chicago Booth will ensure the student is graduated in the quarter of degree completion.
