The Kellogg Experience

What sets Kellogg apart is the Kellogg spirit, including the unique composition of its student body. Kellogg is dedicated to admitting students with a broad diversity of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, career experiences, interests and talents.

Because each applicant is required to interview, the admissions committee is able to meet the person behind every application. As a result, the student body is a rich mix of people, from consultants and bankers to teachers and sales executives. In fact, one of the greatest assets of the Part-Time MBA Program is the composition of its student body because peer students will ultimately make up the enduring network that Kellogg students develop while in the program and maintain after graduation.

The composition of the class is especially important at Kellogg because of the school's emphasis on teamwork and forming connections. Students who attend the part-time program participate in a vigorous academic and social community that includes working in teams. Since part-time students take most or all of their courses on the downtown campus, they have a consistent educational base from which they form ties with Kellogg, their fellow students and Kellogg activities.

In the Part-Time MBA Program, students participate in team projects in almost every class, and grades are partially dependent upon how well students work within groups. It is through this diversity of group work that part-time students learn as much from their Kellogg peers as they do from the textbook, professor and case studies. The dedication to teamwork in the curriculum also hones students' interpersonal and cooperative skills and serves as a mirror to the corporate world. Organizations consistently give Kellogg graduates high marks for their ability to work with others.
