The Notre Dame Executive MBA program in Chicago, a 17-month, Friday/Saturday biweekly program, has flourished since being established in 2001. Today, the executive-format program is the third largest in the Chicago area, and is ranked 20th by BusinessWeek in its biennial survey of the world’s top Executive MBA programs. Classes are held in the Chicago Commons, our executive education facility at Michigan Avenue and Jackson in downtown Chicago. The facility opened in 2008 and provides our students with a state-of-the-art learning environment.

Notre Dame’s renowned Executive MBA faculty is composed of great minds in business and education. Senior Notre Dame faculty experienced in executive-level education travel to our Chicago classroom. All functional areas of business are explored in an interactive classroom environment. The content mirrors today’s pressing business issues. Students learn to view challenges and find solutions using broader perspectives. Our faculty members enjoy teaching in our program because they appreciate the dialogue that can flourish when their knowledge and experiences mingle with the experience and day-to-day career relevance of their executive students.
