University Pathways for the CABM/CBM Credentials
APBM is establishing educational pathways with leading colleges and universities at the graduate level for the CABM/CBM Credentials where the CABM/CBM may:
- provide differentiation in the admissions process,
- ensure readiness for the rigor of an MBA program, and/or
- provide credit/waiver of certain prerequisites/core classes, depending on the university.
Current educational pathways include:
University of Chicago Booth School of Business
The University of Chicago Booth School of Business is one of the leading business schools in the world, offering multiple MBA programs -- a full-time MBA program, an evening MBA program, a weekend MBA program located in Chicago; and executive MBA programs in Chicago, London and Singapore. Booth recognizes the CABM/CBM credential as part of the evaluation process as one of the many important certifications that business professionals obtain throughout their careers. As with other certifications, the CABM/CBM does not guarantee admission to any Booth program, but provides an additional point of information regarding academic accomplishments in the evaluation process. CABM/CBM certificate holders should have their transcripts sent to the appropriate MBA admissions program along with any other application components. Please visit ChicagoBooth.edu for more information regarding our MBA programs.
