MMM Program curriculum
The MMM core curriculum is broken down into three parts: business courses, design innovation courses and joint 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.
