Technology Management at Kellogg

 

An increasing percentage of our students seek jobs in large technology firms. In the 2018 graduating class, 1 in 4 students were recruited into technology positions. Our students are actively seeking pathways through the curriculum that will give them strong foundations for filling and succeeding in these roles. The positions include roles in product management, product marketing management, and operations and strategy in these firms, with each role demanding depth on technology and analytics. The pathway organizes cross-department suites of courses that emphasize functional depth for these specific roles.

The pathway is broken down by the three primary roles Kellogg students recruit into after graduation:

1) product management, 2) product marketing management, and 3) business operations and strategy.
