The University of Chicago Graduate School of Business (also known as Chicago GSB) has its main campus in the Hyde Park neighborhood in the southern part of the city of Chicago.

Programs

The 2004 full-time class is comprised of 1088 first and second-year students. Chicago GSB also offers a part-time MBA program with identical curriculum, faculty, and classes to the full-time program. The part-time program is domiciled at the GSB's Downtown Chicago campus, but students in both the full-time and part-time programs may register for classes at either the Hyde Park Center or the downtown campus.
