About
Kellogg’s Impact Approach – Broad and Deep
Kellogg’s social impact offerings are designed to equip the next generation of business leaders to serve as socially responsible leaders — whether in nonprofit, for-profit or governmental organizations.
We characterize these leaders not by their line of work, but by their management philosophies and leadership styles. They have strong principles and a sense of purpose. They think responsibly and act authentically. They fuel growth in people and organizations to support our economy, community and planet.
Here is how Kellogg educates and inspires these leaders.
Curricular Offerings
Our Social Impact Pathway invites students who want to build their expertise and knowledge to choose from an array of impact themes and approaches. Students can sample from Kellogg’s foundational courses on social impact topics, or take a deep dive into specific topics and approaches by pursuing our Policy, Nonprofit or Social Enterprise and Entrepreneurship tracks. Students can also complement their classroom learning by participating in labs or experiential learning opportunities both domestically and internationally.
Student Experience
Students can choose from a number of club, experiential, event, competition and other offerings to deepen their social impact experience in policy, education and service areas, including these examples:
Kellogg’s Net Impact Club
Kellogg’s Net Impact Club is a four-time winner of Net Impact’s Graduate Chapter of the Year award. In fact, over 75% of all Kellogg students belong to one of Kellogg’s 12 social impact clubs.
Golub Capital Board Fellows Program
Each year, 50 student fellows are provided firsthand experience sitting on a Chicago-area nonprofit board of directors.
Events
Kellogg hosts dozens of speakers, competitions and events each year, including dedicated pre-term Social Impact Days and Kellogg’s Morgan Stanley Sustainable Investing Challenge.
Experiential Learning
Kellogg’s Social Impact Pathway offers a number of labs and opportunities to help students gain real-world experience in socially impactful work. In addition, career treks, student-led pro bono consulting projects and other experiences invite students to step into impact roles and projects during their MBA journey.

Career Opportunities
Because educational debt can sometimes limit graduates from pursuing positions with the public and nonprofit sectors, Kellogg has a dedicated Loan Assistance Program which eliminates a portion of the graduate’s debt burden. There are also funding opportunities available for students who are starting their own social ventures or want to pursue summer internships with social enterprises.
