Graduate Degrees

Extraordinary leaders are respected and trusted in their organizations as well as in their communities. At Quinlan, you will learn from the successes and mistakes of business leaders and see how those principles translate into the work you are doing today and in your future.

All of our courses focus on real-world, hands-on business issues in a global context. You'll apply theory learned in the classroom to current business problems. Our faculty members are established business experts who enrich our graduate programs with their extensive knowledge and first-hand experiences.

Quinlan students rely on the expertise of our instructors to gain a global perspective and to refine their analytical tools and managerial abilities, while sharpening critical thinking and leadership skills.

Mid-career professionals benefit from building their theoretical and practical know-how by analyzing case studies and developing real-world projects.

Our STEM-designated graduate programs combine analytical rigor, business strategy, and technology, equipping you with the skills employers demand. Learn more.

Quinlan graduates join an impressive network of 35,000 alumni in Chicago, the U.S., and around the world—many of whom have achieved leadership positions, and the majority of whom continue to reside and work in the Chicagoland area.
