About The University of Chicago
The mission of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business is to create knowledge with enduring impact, and to educate current and future leaders.
We launched the world’s first executive MBA program, and with its expansion to London and Hong Kong, Chicago Booth became the first business school with permanent campuses on three continents, establishing a truly global presence.
Our new facility at One Bartholomew Close in Barts Square opened in 2020 and serves as a gathering place for students, alumni, and industry leaders to engage with one another. Centrally located near St Paul’s Cathedral and easily accessible by transit, our campus brings together entrepreneurs, policymakers, and executives from across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. In fall of 2022, the campus was renamed the Robert Rothman, ’77, London Campus after a generous gift from Rothman.
