Executive MBA

The old mantra "location, location, location" certainly applies to the Illini Center. Our Executive MBA students learn right in the heart of Chicago's business district in a setting convenient to those who work in the Loop, the suburbs, downstate, or even out of state - in short, our location is simply unparalleled.

Classes are held at The Illini Center, 200 S. Wacker Drive. Located just blocks south of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, we are directly across from the Sears Tower and just over the bridge from Union Station. Olgilvie Transportation Center (formerly Northwestern Station) is only three blocks away. Traveling to or from Midway or O'Hare? The Orange and Blue "El" lines stop within blocks of the Illini Center. If you drive into the city, you'll find parking lots all around our building. And, if you live outside the Chicago area, you'll find that our class times are scheduled to enable you to catch your Amtrak train home on Saturday.

Classes meet Fridays and Saturday on alternating weekends on a floor designed just for the College of Business, with comfortable classrooms with video and audio enhancement, student lounges, team meeting spaces, and dining facilities. To augment the tablet PC computer each student is issued during Orientation, we have additional computer kiosks and printing stations. In the evenings before class days, you and your classmates will lodge together at a nearby hotel whose staff understands your needs as an Executive MBA student.
