Baumhart Scholars go through Loyola’s top-notch MBA experience, while enjoying specialized leadership opportunities to drive their careers and their social impact forward.

Business Strategy + Social Purpose

Our 16-course, cohort-based approach to the MBA curriculum is designed to provide a solid foundation in all business disciplines, develop leadership skills, and deeply explore purpose in business.

The Baumhart Scholars curriculum has three parts:

Foundational courses

Scholars go through Quinlan’s core MBA experience as a cohort, taking courses aimed at developing foundational business knowledge, skills, and values. The faculty who teach these courses are committed to integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues into their learning objectives.

Specialty courses

The program includes specialty courses exploring values-based leadership, corporate social responsibility, social entrepreneurship, influencing skills, ESG, and impact investing.

Elective courses

Through your three electives, you can customize your education to your personal career path and interests.

Elective courses can be taken within the Quinlan School of Business or from across Loyola colleges and schools (for example, Social Work, Law, Communications, or the School for Environmental Sustainability) for flexibility and customization.

You can choose to have a concentration by taking all three elective courses in the same discipline. You can also use your electives to work toward a Graduate Certificate, such as Business Data Analytics, Baumhart Certificate in ESG, or Cybersecurity. See the full list of Graduate Certificates.

Elective courses in Quinlan are offered in a number of areas. Learn more here.
