Program Guidelines & Suggestions
1. All core courses should be completed within the first 12 courses of study. The core courses are listed on the Program Planning Guide.

2. Management 431: Management & Strategy should be completed within the first three quarters of study.

3. Decision Sciences 433 and 434 should be completed early in the program. If you have a strong math background (i.e., engineering, mathematics or science undergraduate curriculum), Decision Sciences 436 and 437 might be more appropriate courses to take.

4. A student is not ordinarily permitted to enroll in more than two courses per quarter, nor to complete the program in fewer than 10 quarters of study.

5. The maximum time limit for completion of the MBA degree is five years.

6. The faculty committee for business management strongly recommends that students who plan a career in a business organization include the following courses among their electives:

ACCT 431 Managerial Accounting
MNGT 452 Strategy and Organization
MECN 450 Macroeconomic Analysis for Management
MGMT 450 Strategic Management in Non-Market Environments
MGMT 440 Human Resources Management

Mini Courses at Kellogg
Kellogg increased its variety of courses by introducing five-week mini courses. These half-credit courses offer both students and instructors an opportunity to pursue subjects that can be covered thoroughly in fewer than 10 weeks, and they enable Kellogg to respond quickly to marketplace trends.
