The Saturday Program is an excellent option for anyone who lives outside the Chicago area and for Chicago area residents whose work or travel schedules would interfere with evening classes.

In the Saturday Program:

• Your classes start in June - the summer quarter
• You will start the program as a cohort class - taking the core curriculum in your first year
• The classes meet on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to noon and 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.
• You can take up to three courses per quarter
• Quarters are 10 weeks long with an additional week of finals
• You will take your electives in the second and third years
• You can complete the program in 2 - 5 years; the average time to complete is 3 years

• Choice of Kellogg’s three most popular majors: Finance, Management & Strategy, and Marketing. Students may also add electives in other areas of study.

• If your schedule is flexible, you may take evening classes that are not included in the Saturday program course structure, leading to additional options for majors that might not be offered in the Saturday Program.

Program Structure
The Kellogg experience is grounded in the belief that, as an MBA graduate, you should possess a general management foundation that enables you to lead in all aspects of your life. You will build this through the core curriculum’s 9.5 courses. All Kellogg MBA students begin by developing a solid understanding of the fundamentals of management through our core curriculum. Philosophically aligned with the diversity of our course offerings, faculty, and student body, this strong foundation broadens your perspective and enables you to lead, manage, and communicate more effectively across a wide range of disciplines.

The Core Curriculum
Taken before you begin coursework in your major field(s), the 9.5 courses that comprise the core curriculum set the stage for you to gain maximum value from the courses and learning experiences that follow.
