How hard is it to transfer from undergrad at Northwestern into Kellogg? and what percentage of those who apply from Northwestern get accepted?

I don't think undergrads can major in Kellogg. I know you can get a certificate, which is basically the same thing as a minor, but you cannot get a business major as an undergraduate from Kellogg.

I think he's just asking how common it is for NU undergrads to get into the Kellogg grad program...

looks like undergrad cert program has some marketing work to do. if "minor" is what people think of, then it's definitely underrated. i was told one of the certificate courses, the "principle of finance", teaches exactly the same material as "turbo finance" in MBA program. Turbo Finance, Finance Department this "minor" is more advanced and intense than just about any finance major program out there.

the kellogg classes themselves might be, but don't you only take 4 courses (i know there are a lot of pre-reqs, but they aren't directly finance related)

Sam Lee

yes, you take only 4 courses. i think for a regular undergrad business major, you take bunch of biz fundamentals like like accounting, marketing, management, organizational behavior, business law, and intro to finance etc on top of whatever the distribution requirements are. here are sample curriculum for Michigan and Berkeley
Core Courses - Stephen M. Ross School of Business
Undergraduate Program - Degree Information - Haas School of Business
notice how they don't seem to require any advanced finance course. kellogg financial economics cert, on the other hand, is narrowly focused only on finance but at a deeper level. this is probably why the math requirement for other undergrad business programs is only one semester of calculus while it's much more than that for kellogg cert.
