U.S. News & World Report recently released its 2025 rankings of the best business schools, and I’m proud to share that Kellogg earned top marks across every MBA category.

Our Full-Time MBA Program was ranked #2 in the nation, while our Executive MBA Program also earned a #2 spot. Our Evening & Weekend MBA Program is ranked #1 in the country.

These results are more than just a number — they reflect the strength of our community, the excellence of our faculty and the impact of our graduates around the world. Most importantly, they underscore how deeply committed we are to delivering transformational experiences across every Kellogg ��������.

Full-Time MBA: Developing Tomorrow’s Leaders

Our #2 ranking for the Full-Time MBA, up one spot from last year, is a testament to the caliber of our students, faculty and global alumni network. In an increasingly dynamic job market, employers continue to seek out Kellogg graduates for their leadership, collaboration and analytical skills. We’re proud to see the success of our students reflected in employment outcomes, with Class of 2024 graduates landing roles in top firms across consulting, tech, finance, healthcare and many more industries – a long-standing strength of Kellogg being the breadth of employers and roles where students land.

At Kellogg, we prepare our students to lead with empathy and insight as well as keen analysis. Our Full-Time MBA students work closely with renowned faculty and engage in immersive, hands-on learning experiences, often alongside peers from across Kellogg ��������s. Popular options include Global Initiatives in Management, the Healthcare Deep Dive and the Advanced Private Equity Experience. Like all of our graduates, they benefit from the strength of a supportive and engaged 70,000-strong global alumni network.
