Work Experience Degree Requirement
All MMM are required to complete an 8-12 week period of work during the Summer Quarter between the first and second years of the MBA program. This practical experience, directly related to the student’s field of study (MBA degree) and a graduation requirement, is aimed to deepen and broaden the student’s knowledge and skills. International F-1 students will be eligible for F-1 Curricular Practical Training (F-1 CPT; or J-1 academic training for J-1 international students ) starting Summer Quarter 2021.
The MMM core curriculum is broken down into three parts: business courses, design innovation courses and business and design innovation courses. This structure leverages the strengths of the Kellogg, McCormick and Segal Design Institute faculty, and ultimately gives you a perspective that differentiates you from your competition. These classes are all MMM-exclusive courses.
