Accelerated MBA

Kellogg Accelerated MBA Program Structure

The Northwestern University Accelerated MBA (One-Year) at the Kellogg Graduate School of Management is an accelerated program designed to bypass core classes. The program starts and finishes in June and can be completed in just one year. Students take required courses over the summer that are designed to complement undergraduate business studies and then complete their degree with elective courses in the fall, winter, and spring. The program consists of 15.5 credits in total – students take at least two summer courses in Leadership and Business Strategy, a Crisis Management half credit course right before the fall term, and then join second-year MBA students for the final 13 courses before earning their degree. Following the unique full-time summer quarter, where students complete two required courses and often several additional electives, One-Year MBA students are treated as second-year (two-year) full-time students at Kellogg for the fall, winter and spring terms and graduate with fellow second-year MBA candidates in June.

In September 2014, the school announced it had expanded its M.S. in Management Studies (MSMS) degree beyond Northwestern University undergraduates beginning with the class that commenced in summer 2015. The MSMS program, a Master of Science program for undergraduates, equips liberal arts students with specialized management and business skills in less than one year.

Kellogg has increased the size of its One-Year MBA program by nearly 20 percent over the past two years and will continue to evolve with the market. Launched 50 years ago, Kellogg was the first top-tier business school to offer a One-Year MBA program designed for students who have both a business-related degree and several years of work experience, allowing them to bypass core classes and immediately dive into advanced studies customized to their career goals.

Curriculum

The Kellogg Accelerated MBA requires previous (generally undergraduate) business coursework in Financial Accounting, Statistics, Finance, Economics, Marketing, and Operations. Since this core coursework is completed prior to enrollment, there are only 2.5 mandatory course credits, allowing One-Year program students the flexibility to pursue areas of interest among seven available areas of study, including majors in Accounting, Economics, Finance, and others. Most Kellogg students pursue two or more of these majors.
