Kellogg is part of the M7, an informal network of business schools recognized as having elite MBA programs, regarded as among the most prestigious in the United States.

[2] The school played a major role in helping to establish the Graduate Management Admission Test.

[4][5][6][7] For instance, Walter Dill Scott, a pioneer in applied psychology, helped establish some of the earliest advertising and marketing courses in the first decade of the twentieth century.

[13] Similarly, Kotler's Marketing Management text has played a key role in deepening the field's scholarship.

A watershed event in the school's history was the opening of the James L. Allen Center, home of the Kellogg executive education programs.

Also, this training was oriented toward general management, rather than narrowly functional skills, as had mostly been the case in many business schools for much of the 20th century.

The training was designed to provide management skills suitable for leadership roles whether in the corporate, public, or nonprofit sectors – rather than careers focused solely on traditional business.

To reflect this change, the school in 1969 stopped issuing the MBA credential in favor of the MM, or master of management degree.

It quickly attracted a number of world-class quantitative experts, many in the field of game theory, to build the school's Managerial Economics and Decision Sciences Department.

[22] In June 2009, Kellogg announced that Dipak C. Jain would step down after eight years as dean and return to teaching.

Later in 2009, Northwestern University announced plans to construct a new building at the northeast corner of its Evanston campus to serve as Kellogg's new home.

[24][25] In March 2010, Kellogg announced that Sally Blount would replace Sunil Chopra as dean, starting in July.

[31] Students in the Kellogg full-time program take the majority of their classes at the Global Hub, which opened on March 28, 2017.

[34] As a result, in addition to grades, GMAT scores, professional achievement, and demonstrated leadership, 'fit' is an important part of the admissions equation at Kellogg.

[36] Students may choose from seven majors including accounting, economics, finance, marketing, operations, strategy, and managing organizations.

These include data analytics, entrepreneurship, growth and scaling, healthcare, real estate, social impact, and venture capital & private equity.

Kellogg offers a one-year MBA program for students who have already completed a specified list of prerequisite courses, including undergraduate-level financial accounting, statistics, finance, economics, marketing, and operations.

[38] In cooperation with the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, Kellogg offers a program that leads to earning a JD and an MBA in just three years.

Kellogg also offers an accelerated option for students who have previous academic or industry experience in MBA-relevant subjects like accounting, marketing, and corporate finance.

The Kellogg-HKUST Executive MBA Program at the Hong Kong UST Business School is ranked No.

2 in the world, the school's Kellogg-Schulich Executive MBA program at York University in Canada is ranked No.

[52] Students tend to be very active in impacting the local Evanston and Chicago communities, and frequently collaborate on philanthropic causes.

One example combining the campus culture and passion for giving is the annual Charity Auction Ball, held each winter quarter.

KAMP asks current students and alumni to fill out a short survey and then matches mentors and mentees by areas of interest.
