Blog Archive Professor Profiles Kevin Murphy, the University of Chicago Booth School of Business Many MBA applicants feel that they are purchasing a brand when they choose a business school. However, the educational experience you will have is what is crucial to your future, and no one will affect your education more than your professors. Today, we focus on  Kevin Murphy  from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. In 2005, Chicago Booth professor  Kevin Murphyâ€"who has a joint appointment in the department of economics at the University of Chicago, where he teaches PhD-level coursesâ€"became the first business school professor to win the MacArthur Genius Grant, which he received for his groundbreaking economic research. Murphy’s course “Advanced Microeconomic Analysis” is affectionately called “Turbo Micro” because of its enormous workload. One recent graduate told mbaMission that a typical Chicago Booth class is supposed to be complemented by five hours of homework per week but that Murphy’s course demands roughly 20 hours. So why would students clamber to take the class? The alumnus with whom we spoke raved that it was taught at the PhD level and that Murphy is deserving of his “genius” title, pushing students to think about their opinions in profoundly different ways. A first year we interviewed identified Murphy’s course as the most impressive he had taken thus far, sayi ng it offered “a very complicated but logical way to view the world.” For more information about Chicago Booth and 16 other top-ranked business schools, check out the free  mbaMission Insider’s Guides.
