Kellogg Board Fellows Program
This student-led program pairs participants with Chicago-area nonprofits to serve on their board of directors, actively contributing to the organizations for 14 months. (This course is not available to One-Year MBA Program students.)
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. Projects focus on developing economic models for decision-making, developing analytical processes, and using big data and analytics for improved enterprise decisions.
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.
Risk Lab
In Risk Lab, students work on real-world projects that provide an excellent opportunity to exercise many of the concepts that are part of an MBA curriculum. Projects in this course are full of real-world complexity, which will require integration of concepts from various disciplines. The projects in Risk Lab are not strictly about risk management or risk reduction, but rather risk identification, projecting, planning, and risk acceptance.
Real Estate Lab
Real Estate Lab is an experiential learning course that allows Kellogg students the opportunity to participate in a quarter-long project, working in a research and advisory role on a real estate project for a sponsor firm or organization. Participants will be exposed to a project related to an investment, development, public policy, or another real estate question. Enrollment in the course is by application only.
Real Estate Lab-Practicum (offered in Winter quarter) is an experiential learning course that allows Kellogg students the opportunity to be placed in a quarter-long internship with a local or national real estate firm.
