They emerge in places where governments respond to real-world challenges at an extraordinary scale, where digital innovation reaches millions of citizens, rapidly expanding cities test the future of urban planning, local communities shape development decisions, and climate resilience is no longer a theory but a daily priority.

Beyond the World's Famous Architecture Destinations When architecture students think about international immersion programs, the conversation usually revolves around Europe or East Asia.

From One Question to a Kellogg Tradition: The Story of the Kellogg India Trek
India has consistently been one of the largest international cohorts at Kellogg. Yet, for the longest time, there was no India Trek. It is somewhat surprising when you think about it. For years, students travelled across the world during spring break, seeking experiences that would take them beyond classrooms and case discussions.

India was already a familiar topic in MBA classrooms around the world.
