Accessible Format
KMI convenes from 8:30 a.m. Thursday to 5:30 p.m. Friday approximately twice per month from September to February with short recesses for major holidays. All classes are held in the James L. Allen Center on Northwestern University's Evanston campus. An overnight residential stay occurs on Thursday nights giving participants a chance to network and exchange ideas throughout the program. The residential stays reinforce peer relationships and strengthen class cohesiveness. The program concludes in February with a two-day graduation session that includes spouses and guests of class members.
Accommodations for Wednesday night stays are available if needed.
Implementing Learning
During the two weeks between class days, you are expected to prepare cases and readings, which require approximately four to six hours of study. You are also asked to use the intervening weeks to reflect on the material discussed in the previous class and to relate it to your jobs and organizations. You have the opportunity to share new insights with your KMI colleagues and faculty at the next meeting. The result is a blend of classroom concepts and day-to-day experience - a powerful combination that greatly enriches the learning process.
Peer Learning and Family Involvement
KMI provides exceptional opportunities for developing lasting contacts and friendships with your KMI colleagues. To increase peer learning and class unity, we have re-structured our Evanston program to include Thursday overnight stays increasing time for participants to network.
Just as the Kellogg School promotes team culture in your professional life, we also recognize and respect the teams you forge in your personal life. We encourage the active involvement of your family in KMI social events. KMI hosts several on-campus spouse and family events, including a fall football game, a mid-session social event, and a graduation dinner dance at the conclusion of the program. |
