About Managerial Studies

The department of managerial studies takes a strategic approach to teaching students about management, marketing and entrepreneurship. Its innovative curriculum and emphasis on experiential learning create a distinctive academic environment where students can acquire the skills and knowledge to succeed in their professional endeavors.

Class lectures and projects generate scenarios that exemplify the educational philosophy of "where theory meets practice." There is a strong focus given to the development of team building through communication and presentation skills.

Our award-winning faculty teaches across a broad spectrum of topics, and its cutting-edge research is regularly published in leading academic and practitioner journals.

Students studying managerial studies benefit not only from the influence and guidance of the department's top-notch faculty, they also have access to real-world experiences resulting from the CBA's engagement with Chicago's business community.
