Immerse yourself in the Kellogg Chicago campus

Home to our Evening & Weekend MBA, Master in Management Program and — coming 2025 — our Executive MBA, the downtown campus is conveniently located near everything you need as a working professional, whether you're walking over after work or flying in on the weekends.

Based in the heart of downtown near the Loop — the epicenter of culture, commerce and business — the Chicago campus is steps from financial institutions, consulting firms and international corporations. Find inspiration and soak in the buzz of the nation's third largest city, which is home to the thousands of organizations and business leaders at the forefront of their industries.

The flexibility you need. The city to get it in.

 

No matter where you of where you live, you can earn a Kellogg MBA in the evenings or on the weekend. The evening schedule — ideal for professionals who live and work in the Chicago area — allows you to take insights learned in class and apply them at work the very next day. And with its concentrated format, the weekend schedule is a great option for students flying in or commuting from a neighboring city.

Best of all? Campus is surrounded by top-tier hotels, restaurants and easy public transportation to and from the Chicago O'Hare and Midway airports, making it the ideal location to maximize your time and opportunities in the program. 

Beginning in December 2024, the Executive MBA Evanston programming will shift to Kellogg's Chicago campus while construction of a new building is underway to replace the James L. Allen Center. Please contact EMBA admissions for more information.

ABOUT CHICAGO, IL
Location

Campus is in the middle of everything the city has to offer — top-rated hotels, two international airports, cultural landmarks and award-winning restaurants. The downtown campus is also an easy drive or train ride to the main Evanston campus.

Feel

Diverse, dynamic and enterprising, Chicago is a city unlike any other. It’s no wonder people have come here for generations to get inspired and make their mark on the world.

Immersive learning in the city

Home to the Evening & Weekend MBA Program is Wieboldt Hall, a restored historic building on Northwestern University’s 20-acre downtown Chicago campus. The best part? It’s steps away from the Lake Michigan shoreline path and situated alongside all the buzz of the Chicago business district.

Tour the Chicago campus

Our virtual campus tour will give you a glimpse into what you can expect when you join us at Wieboldt Hall. Not only is it home to the Kellogg Evening & Weekend MBA Program in downtown Chicago, but it is also the first, original building for the school.

Acknowledgement of land and people

Northwestern campus inhabits the original homelands of the Council of Three Fires — the Ojibwe, Potawatomi and Odawa — as well as the Menominee, Miami and Ho-Chunk nations. We acknowledge and honor the original peoples of the Chicagoland area and the many Indigenous people who call it home — past, present, future.
