Regardless of major, our students graduate with
outstanding quantitative, verbal, and written skills
that prepare them for persuasion, negotiation, and
collaboration—the cornerstones of successful business
relationships. With access to the top-ranking Chicago
Booth and to an economics faculty that includes Nobel
laureates, UChicago students enjoy a vibrant Core
curriculum plus attractive internship and research
opportunities to help them thrive in both the classroom
and the boardroom.
Pre-Business Professional Advising Team
UChicago Career Advising and Planning Services (CAPS)
provides the preparation, connections, and opportunities for
students to pursue their career goals. CAPS has a staff of
pre-business advisors with more than 75 years of combined
experience in business. These experts advise College students,
regardless of major, once they determine they have an interest
in business.
Recruiting on Campusn The on-Campus Recruiting Program brings representa-
tives from many top business and consulting organizations
to campus to interview students for summer internships
and full-time opportunities. The pre-business advisors
help identify internship opportunities and create targeted
application materials as well as prepare students for inter-
views. CAPS hosts hundreds of organizations on campus
through its recruiting program and career fairs. Additional
organizations recruit via University of Chicago–specific job
postings, resulting in thousands of internship and full-time
opportunities for students. These encompass a wide range
of business careers—including investment banking, consult-
ing, marketing, and general management—in locations
across the United States and around the world.
n The Recruiting Immersion Camp is a two-day intensive
workshop designed to build resume-writing, interviewing,
and networking skills, as well as bolster self-confidence as
students prepare for their job searches. It is open to
all students.
Career and Internship fairs
CAPS hosts three large-scale career fairs on campus each
year for students looking for internships or full-time jobs. Many
company representatives conduct interviews with students
either during or immediately following career fairs.

put their UChicago educations to use.

University of Chicago alumni who have volunteered to provide
career-related informational interviews to students and other
alumni. Alumni of the College, graduate divisions, and profes-
sional schools participate in this vast and growing global net-
work. Many graduates report that their most valuable career
advice comes from other alumni. In addition to offering infor-
mation about career options, employment conditions, and job
responsibilities, alumni recount their experiences translating

Chicago Careers in BusinessThe selective Chicago Careers in Business (CCIB) program
supplements the College’s influential liberal arts curriculum
with the world-class resources of Chicago Booth and
UChicago’s global network of business leaders. The CCIB
program includes professional advising, mentorship from
fourth-year CCIB and Chicago Booth students, weekly
workshops, and courses at Chicago Booth.
Chicago Booth Course Enrollment
It is a distinct advantage for College students to have access
to courses taught in the University’s graduate and profes-
sional schools, such as Chicago Booth, which is renowned for
producing leaders and ideas that have shaped the world of
business since 1898. Undergraduate students may register for
up to six business school courses during their College career.
Chicago Booth Scholars Program
Chicago Booth offers an early admission program exclu-
sively for College students. The Chicago Booth Scholars
Program encourages College students to apply during their
fourth year at no fee. Those who are accepted defer atten-
dance for one to three years, during which time they are
expected to work in an environment that will provide “qual-
ity and substantive experience positioning them to succeed
at Chicago Booth.”
CAPS ProgrammingIn addition to the CCIB program, CAPS also offers a spe-
cialized track of monthly programs for students interested
in business careers. Exploring Careers in Business includes
sessions that highlight everything from business career
exploration to how to secure a full-time job or internship in
business. Additional programs and services offered each
quarter include:
n Regular industry-specific workshops give students the
opportunity to learn about myriad opportunities in the
business world, such as corporate rotational programs,
marketing, banking, and consulting.
n Business skills programs offer training on general skills
necessary for success in the business world. These skill-
building programs cover such topics as Microsoft Excel,
valuation, and financial analysis training.
n Professionalism programs help students polish their
overall interviewing, networking, and presentation skills.
n Interview preparation services are available online and
in person at CAPS. Practice interviewers who specialize in
a variety of industries are available by appointment, so
students can have firsthand experiences in an interview
setting, receiving constructive feedback and advice.
Practice interviewers conduct behavioral, traditional, or
case interviews. They also offer their services at day-
long events during the academic year. Students can
practice interviews online through InterviewStream,
where a CAPS staff member provides feedback and
assistance electronically.
n Individual counseling with CAPS staff is available for
students interested in business. CAPS advisors special-
ize in working either with students who have a broad
range of interests or with those who are focused on
specific industries.
