One-Year (1Y) Program
The Kellogg School’s One-Year (1Y) MBA Program, established in the late 1960s, is an accelerated business education program that enables applicants with clear, consistent career goals to return to the work force quickly. The program, which consists almost entirely of elective coursework, admits a new cohort each June.
Eligibility
While most 1Y students have undergraduate business degrees, the MBA program is open to both undergraduate business majors and non-business majors.
The table below shows the steps required in order to be eligible for the One-Year Program.If you have further questions, please e-mail them to the Office of Admissions at MbaAdmissions@kellogg.northwestern.edu and include the phrase “1Y Eligibility” in the subject line of your e-mail.
* If only five required courses are complete upon application, the sixth course must be completed prior to enrollment at Kellogg and the seventh course may be completed at a qualified institution prior to enrollment (suggested) or at Kellogg during the summer quarter of the 1Y program.
Determining Course Eligibility
Course names and content may differ between schools. Kellogg core course descriptions are provided below to help you determine whether you have covered similar topics in your undergraduate business education. As knowledge of the content below is assumed for upper level courses, we encourage you to review these descriptions. If you completed a course that you believe matches one of our required courses, but the title of the course does not make it apparent, send a link or reference to the institution’s description of this course. We will examine in depth the topics covered to ensure the course meets our requirements.
Each year, approximately 70 to 80 1Y students enter the MBA program in June and complete the 15.5 courses necessary to earn their degrees. They may major in any of the areas described in the Two-Year MBA Program. During the summer quarter, 1Y students take courses designed to complement their undergraduate business studies. In September, they join the second-year class and complete at least 11 additional courses chosen to meet their interests and career goals. Because of their previous business education, 1Y students generally may not take 2Y core courses.
During the summer quarter, 1Y students take three to five courses (including 1.5 required credit hours) and the remaining electives (See the sample schedule below). As of June 2008, 1Y students must complete one credit to satisfy the global elective requirement.
