MMM=MBA+MEM

Managing Products and Services from Concept to Execution

The MMM Program is a dual-degree program that integrates management, operations and design, from concept to execution.

MMM students learn a systems approach to managing a company: "design thinking" to develop products and services that are innovative and customer focused, and "process thinking" to eliminate operational waste - defects, inventories, delays, movement - in producing and delivering them. This unique combination of skills permits MMM graduates to take a total view of a company's offerings.

MMMs receive two degrees with one set of curricular requirements in just two years: the Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Kellogg and the Master of Engineering Management (MEM) from McCormick. As a result, MMMs enjoy all the advantages of Kellogg School's renowned management program as well as key topics in operations and design from McCormick, one of the country's leading engineering schools. Within the MBA curriculum, students can choose business majors, such as finance, marketing or strategy. The MEM curriculum offers a choice of two majors: Operations or Design.
