Diverse community

Learn from various perspectives

We know that the distinctions that shape identities also enrich the Kellogg experience, as new perspectives foster students’ personal and professional growth. The next generation of Kellogg leaders is a diverse group of individuals with a rich mix of educational backgrounds, cultural traditions, national origins, career aspirations, life experiences, and social and political views.

Our commitment to belonging

African American, Hispanic American and Native American students

African Americans, Hispanic Americans and Native Americans are strongly represented in our community. Additionally, we belong to the Ten School Diversity Alliance, a partnership among the nation’s top business schools that works to increase minority populations in graduate management education. Kellogg also collaborates with organizations that promote the presence of minority business leaders.
