Prospective Evening Master’s Program (EMP) students have the opportunity to experience an EMP course by visiting a class. EMP classes take place at the convenient downtown Chicago Merchandise Mart at 1871 and allow mid-career professionals to get an inside look at our part-time program. Please note that class visits take place in the evening and are facilitated by current EMP students. Space is extremely limited for EMP class visits and are reserved for prospective students who have started an application and have already attended an EMP information session, EMP webinar, or 1:1 appointment.
