I think Berkeley and Ross have it ALL right: start the business program at the junior year. By applying for the school in the sophomore year, students will have had the chance to explore other fields. After all, the business degree really only requires several core courses. This will work especially well at Northwestern, as we are on the quarter system-- that means 12 courses per year!! You can definately squeeze in a business degree into those two years…in fact…make it a joint degree…like MMSS (Mathmatical Methods in Social Sciences). Kellogg is a name brand, and Northwestern should use its name to really increase the quality of students NU gets. We already have the faculty (Kellogg faculty)… one or two years of planning will surely be enough to raise NU through the undergrad busienss rankings, maybe even above wharton’s program.

Now, what financial institution would be unimpressed with a kellogg undergrad degree?
