Let’s play a quick game of word association. I’ll start…“Kellogg.” Ok, go ahead…“Entrepreneurship.” Right? No? Aspiring MBAs may be surprised to learn that Kellogg has 34 classes in this discipline and that approximately 16% of its class typically completes an Entrepreneurship and Innovation major—defying the stereotype that Kellogg only produces marketing MBAs. But Kellogg’s Entrepreneurship and Innovation Program offers more than classes, it provides a variety of hands-on opportunities, including the Entrepreneurial Internship Program, wherein rising second-year students intern with small businesses to help facilitate career transitions (while earning a $1,000 weekly stipend).
Kellogg also has an Entrepreneur in Residence program, wherein an experienced entrepreneur hosts half-hour sessions with students who aspire to careers in this field or are seeking advice on their already active projects. Entrepreneurs coming from or planning to enter a family business will be interested to learn that Kellogg’s Center for Family Businesses not only publishes research and cases on family business, but also confidentially consults to family-run companies. Indeed, this is all just the tip of the iceberg….
Go beyond the stereotypes.
