Program Overview
Introduction to the Master in Management Program
The Kellogg Master in Management (MiM) program is designed for students who have recently completed their undergraduate degree in a STEM, economics, or liberal arts field and have limited full-time work experience. The program equips students with a transformative skill set that will make an impact in the business world, blending academic rigor with real-world practicality.
Program Overview
The MiM program transforms accomplished students into well-rounded leaders who have the confidence and competitive edge to excel in any industry. What students learn at Kellogg will empower them for a lifetime, not just on their first job, but throughout their entire professional career.
Global Perspective
MiM students may participate in Kellogg’s unique Global Initiatives in Management (GIM) course. Students will travel to a country or region outside the U.S. to learn about that market’s key business trends, norms, challenges, and successes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Difference Between a Master of Management (MiM) and a Master of Business Administration (MBA)?
The Kellogg MiM is designed for students who have recently completed their undergraduate degree in a STEM, economics, or liberal arts field and who have limited full-time work experience. If an applicant has more than two years of full-time work experience (excluding internships and summer jobs) by the enrollment date, they are ineligible to apply. The curriculum does not assume significant work experience and offers broad exposure to management topics over one academic year.
Standard MBA programs require significant work experience (typically, four to six years) and take two years. An MBA curriculum builds off that work experience, and students have significant opportunities to specialize in different academic areas. The goal of an MBA degree is to prepare students for upper-level positions.
If I Receive a Master in Management, Would I Be Able to Pursue an MBA at a Later Date?
Yes. Nothing precludes students who already hold a graduate degree from pursuing an MBA. In some cases, such students may be encouraged to consider a shorter program. After gaining the MiM degree and entering the workforce, students can pair their degree with Kellogg's Full-Time One-Year program to earn their MBA.
Do Students in the Master in Management Program Have Flexibility in When They Take Classes?
Students in the program move through as a cohort. All students enroll at the same time; however, there will be some quarters in which there will be the ability to customize the curriculum.
