Kellogg School of Management Rebrands Part-Time Program as Evening & Weekend MBA
The Kellogg School of Management has announced that some changes are coming to its part-time MBA program, starting with the name.
Kellogg’s part-time MBA program is now known as the Evening & Weekend MBA Program, a decision that was made to highlight the flexibility students have in taking their business courses at night or on weekends, as well as reflect the community built across programs, class years and cohorts.
“We focused the updates to support working professionals across three key areas: academic flexibility, leadership and professional development, as well as community building,” said Professor Mike Mazzeo, who joined the Chicago campus as Faculty Director in July of 2016. “The decision to focus on these distinct areas was insight-driven. We conducted research and benchmarking to identify and address the evolving needs of the student population.”
The program now features more flexibility than ever, including allowing students in weekend courses to enroll in weeknight courses and vice versa, across the Chicago and Evanston campuses. This gives MBA students the ability to perfectly tailor their courses around their already busy personal and work schedules.
According to Kellogg, the program has also implemented a two-year course planning tool, which allows students to enroll in classes that best suit their career aspirations and bring offer more flexibility for students.
“These students encounter the same academic rigor of those in the Kellogg full-time MBA program, but they are also working in professional roles, often have families and lead busy lives outside of school. We wanted to ensure that we focused on the most valued areas to create an impactful change in the student experience,” Mazzeo said .
