Analytical Consulting Lab
Analytical Consulting Lab (ACL) offers students the chance to work with actual company data, developing meaningful analytical models for managerial decision-making, and presenting results and recommendations to company executives.

Global Lab
Kellogg’s Global Lab (G-Lab) offers students a unique opportunity to work one-on-one with an international company to help solve a pressing business or management challenge. This twelve-week experiential learning course blends traditional classroom learning with real-world problem solving, teamwork, and client service. Working closely with the faculty advisor, teams of four students spend the first ten weeks on-campus conducting research, analysis, and interviews in line with the work plan they develop with their clients. After a mid-term progress review and completing their on-campus activities, the teams travel to the client sites to spend the final two weeks completing their research, presenting final recommendations, and working with management on implementation plans.
