• The Kellogg Advantage

Tech at Kellogg

It's not just because over 70 of the world's top tech companies recruit Kellogg students each year. And it's not just because KTech delivers high-impact programs and resources including Tech Bootcamps, Interview Prep Groups, and the Tech Interview Case Book.

Kellogg offers an unparalleled combination of world-renowned faculty, technology courses, experiential learning opportunities, engaged alumni, and a collaborative, student-led culture. This environment ensures students are prepared to thrive in the fast-paced, innovative tech industry.

Kellogg's marketing roots have developed a culture of customer-obsession which helps our students thrive in the world of Tech. At the same time, collaboration - a key Kellogg value - is the bedrock of tech culture. In 2024, 20% of Kellogg graduates joined leading tech companies like Google, Amazon, and PayPal or stepped into tech-driven roles at companies like Walmart and Capital One.
