“With a business and engineering background and
my professional experience in an international, teamdriven environment, I had developed a fairly broad
business knowledge base. To prepare optimally for my
future career, I was looking for a flexible MBA program
that I could tailor to my needs. The diversity of the
Kellogg 1Y MBAProgram was a perfect fit and even
exceeded my expectations.
“The experience of working on a daily basis with fellow
students from a diverse mix of cultures across five
continents continuously expands and sharpens
my business thinking and judgment. The teamwork
and social interaction are key ingredients for having a
great year at Kellogg and forming a strong global
network for the rest of mylife.”

I made it count.
“ Because the 1Y program allowed me to bypass core
courses, I had the freedom to dive right into my own
intensive academic experience.
“I dived right in to student life, too, and found it even
more rewarding than I ever imagined. You hear all
the clichés about it being amazing and exciting —
the clubs, theconferences, the community service,
the networking — but the actual Kellogg experience
is ten fold what you could expect.
“I involved myself as deeply and broadly as possible,
but was very selective about taking on leadership
roles like co-chairing the annual marketing
conference and serving as a director in Kellogg
EATZ, the foodie club. Kellogg has enriched my
professional and personal lifeimmeasurably.”
