Who We Are
Our roots date back to 1916
​The Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, founded in 1908 as the School of Commerce, has a storied history of pioneering business education. Over the decades, Kellogg has introduced innovative programs such as the One-Year MBA in 1965 and championed team-based learning in 1969, emphasizing collaboration and diverse perspectives. ​Kellogg School of Management
In recent years, Kellogg has continued to evolve to meet the demands of a dynamic global business environment. In 2017, the school unveiled the Global Hub, a state-of-the-art facility designed to foster innovative learning and collaboration among students and faculty. ​Kellogg School of Management
In 2024, Kellogg launched the Full Circle Campaign, a comprehensive $600 million fundraising initiative aimed at reinventing business education and further establishing Kellogg's position as an elite MBA school. This campaign includes plans for a new $300 million building on the Evanston campus, set to replace the James L. Allen Center. The new facility will nearly double the number of classroom seats and house Kellogg’s executive MBA and non-degree executive education programs. ​Chicago Sun-Times+3PR Newswire+3Evanston RoundTable+3Crain's Chicago Business+2Chicago Sun-Times+2Evanston RoundTable+2
