<p>^ and these are the formal ways. Responsible parties (GSB/CB faculty, college etc.) can make exceptions as they see fit. </p>
<p>In general, though, professional school courses (GSB/Booth, law school, med school) are much more difficult for undergrads to take. In fact, it is almost impossible for an undergrad (or anyone not a med student) to take a med school course, and difficult for outsiders to take law school courses unless one is dually listed, and I don’t even know if they have any of those currently. </p>
<p>Part of the reason for these restrictions is financial - professional schools are their own budgetary units and guard their finances carefully. Chicago’s med school is unique, though, in having much less autonomy than most - it is part of BSD, but its courses are so specialized that crossover is tough. </p>
<p>I emphasize again, though, that there are many alternate channels for gaining knowledge. It is not unheard of, for example, for a star undergrad (at Chicago and elsewhere) to do a project with GSB type faculty. You need to be open minded, hard working and agressive.</p>
