Blog Archive Beyond the MBA Classroom Getting Formal at Kellogg When you select an MBA program, you are not just choosing your learning environment, but are also committing to becoming part of a community.

When mbaMission interviewed students about their social calendar, many had trouble placing the names and themes of the balls, as they had been to all of them, and the different events had seemingly fused into a single memory. In short, once the school year begins, the average Kellogg student can expect to wear a tuxedo or ball gown more frequently than he or she is typically accustomed to.
