Kellogg's MBA Exchange Program
Debbie Kraus, Assistant Director of Global Study Programs

Kellogg students have the opportunity to study abroad on six continents, in cities from Beijing to Buenos Aires. Our exchange partner schools offer the opportunity to learn about business from a different perspective, experience another culture, and network with students, faculty, and professionals from around the world. Whether students are providing consulting services for a small, family-run business in South Africa, studying luxury retail marketing in France, or taking finance courses in London or Hong Kong, their exchange experience is intended to build on Kellogg’s Global Perspective pillar and to provide them with an immersion experience that adds value to their time at Kellogg.

The International Exchange Program at the Kellogg School was started in 1980 with a vision to promote a cultural interchange of ideas and provide a greater understanding of cross-cultural trade and business practices. Since that time, more than 1,000 Kellogg School students have participated in the Exchange Program with schools from over 20 countries, including those listed here. The local student body and academic culture at each of the schools with which the Kellogg maintains an exchange program represents a unique approach to solving problems.

The Kellogg School does not permit exchange with other national schools because it is not consistent with the vision and the goals of the exchange program — to promote a cultural interchange of ideas and provide a greater understanding of cross-cultural trade and business practices. For these reasons, we also respectfully request that students do not apply to schools in their countries of origin for exchange.

In addition to the participating schools, Kellogg School students may petition to enroll in exchange programs at prominent foreign universities, which have alliances with other leading business programs in the United States, but not with the Kellogg, provided there isn't an existing exchange program established in that country. If the program receives good reviews from peer schools and the host university is willing, a one-time, one-person exchange may be established through the Kellogg Student Affairs Office.
