The Kellogg MBA. A cAreer-defining choice for The eXPerienced Business ProfessionAl.

The Kellogg Executive MBA Program offers you the opportunity to earn one of the world’s most respected business credentials without interrupting your well-established career. The program’s flexibility combined with Kellogg’s distinctive approach to education opens up opportunities you may never have thought possible.

At Kellogg, you will learn the science and the art of leadership. You will learn the latest in business theory from leading thinkers in the field, and just as important, you’ll learn how to overcome the challenges of putting theory into practice. You will develop analytical skills and the social acumen to inspire and influence a team. You will refine your leadership capabilities in an environment that fosters bold thinking and taking smart risks when the time is right.

We offer all this in a culture defined by our courageous and collaborative spirit. It is this attitude — our way of seeing the world — that sets Kellogg apart. It is why our graduates have been advancing their organizations, communities and the world for more than 100 years. It is how we inspire our students to manage and lead with confidence and conviction. It is what we mean when we say, “Think bravely.”

This is The PoinT of A Kellogg educATion.

A differenT Kind of leAderKellogg leaders are different. Our students arrive here with an intuitive understanding of what makes a great leader, and they graduate knowing when to step up and when to step back, when to speak out and when to listen, when to lead with an answer and when to open with a question.

Our strong core curriculum emphasizes general management — leadership across all areas of an organization — because we believe well-rounded managers make better leaders. When you understand how each part of an organization contributes to the success of the whole, you can bring out the very best in your team.

do More wiTh A Kellogg MBA

I’ve been a neurosurgeon in private practice for more than 10 years. I’m not the only physician in Kellogg’s executive program — there are eight of us in my class. We come from different medical disciplines, but we all want to see healthcare improve.

I first noticed opportunities for business streamlining when I was a resident, and again when I joined a private practice group. In medicine, if you really want to encourage change, you have to understand the fundamentals beyond patient care and hospital protocol. My practice runs well, but I still have a lot to learn. I knew I could do more with a Kellogg MBA.

I couldn’t be more pleased with this program. My field is very self-specialized, so the emphasis on collaboration is very refreshing. The program requires a lot of work, but I’ve already learned so much from my classmates. I can always run ideas past them, and they come up with ideas and concepts I wouldn’t have considered. I do the same for them.

I can apply class material almost instantly to my practice. I’m currently talking with classmates about business ideas that combine technology and medicine. If I were to pursue something entrepreneurial, I’d pursue it with someone from Kellogg. We have the work ethic, skills and talents to make it happen.

At Kellogg, we take a distinctive approach to management education, one that balances the study of organizations with the study of the processes that drive consumer, business and financial markets forward.

Across a broad array of course offerings, you will find academic excellence and an emphasis on working in teams toward ambitious goals. You will learn from faculty members who are recognized experts and researchers — in psychology, economics, finance, management and marketing — and seasoned practitioners and trusted advisers to corporate boards, industries and governments worldwide. The knowledge you gain from engaging directly with them, in and out of the classroom, can be applied immediately to help solve the complex business challenges you face daily.

You also will discover how the diversity of your classmates — in education, career experience, professional and personal achievements, cultures and life interests — enriches your learning with new perspectives and insights.

“i’ve discovered TreMendous vAlue in leArning how To see Things froM differenT Angles.”

Haiti has an unsteady environment and faces enormous risks and challenges. Years of business experience have provided me with good instincts, but we all know good instincts alone don’t guarantee success. It became imperative for me to reinforce my practical learning with a more formal knowledge of analytical skills and a true understanding of the latest thinking and ideas.

I chose Kellogg because of the flexibility of the schedule, the convenient Miami campus and the appeal of the collaborative approach. The combination of outstanding professors and the ability to learn from fellow students is one of the most attractive facets of this program. Working together enables us to spend time openly discussing issues and sharing important ideas.

I now realize there are no absolute right answers to business problems. Each person can have a different take on a problem and can offer a perfectly acceptable solution. I’m already a better and more patient listener because of the Kellogg experience.

For me, the focus has always been on the bottom line. It’s been very refreshing to see how classmates from other walks of life — for example, physicians or those engaged in nonprofit organizations — approach business issues. They are more “people-centric.” I’ve discovered tremendous value in learning how to see things from different angles.

Kellogg prepares you to manage in a global economy by helping you develop a broader, more fully informed view of the world in several different dimensions.

This expanded view is woven throughout the academic curriculum. It is embodied in the diversity of our faculty and student body. It comes to life through our relevant international initiatives, our integrated portfolio of courses and global electives, and our global Executive MBA network. Regardless of your perspective now, your view will become clearer and more practically relevant at Kellogg.

oPPorTuniTies inTernATionAl live-in weeK. A signature Kellogg event, is a worldwide student gathering that spotlights the global nature of our Executive MBA Program. During August of their first year in the program, Executive MBA students from all eight cohorts around the world convene on the Evanston campus for an intensive academic, networking and cross-cultural social experience.

The atmosphere of this unique Kellogg experience extends into rewarding social interactions and valuable networking with peers from all over the world. Students often say they learn as much from the varied professional and culture perspectives of their fellow students as they do in the classroom.

Perhaps your company is considering global expansion. Maybe an international career path intrigues you. Or you have a strong interest in the economy of a particular world region. Whatever your motivation, Kellogg offers an intriguing array of global electives — taught domestically and internationally — that will expand your view of the world.

gloBAl elecTives. Includes two to four classes taught by local faculty experts at our global partner schools. These courses bring together students from our eight Executive MBA cohorts around the world.

Electives can range from “European Culture and Management” at WHU’s Otto Beisheim School of Management in Germany and “Deal Making in China and Asia” at HKUST in Hong Kong to “Venture Capital” at the Recanati School in Tel Aviv and “International Strategy” at York University’s Schulich School in Toronto.

gloBAl iniTiATives in MAnAgeMenT (giM). Is a global business course that lets students experience key world markets and conduct primary research to complement their studies. In addition to classroom instruction on the culture, economy and business environment of a country or region, the course includes 10 to 12 days of international field experience. Site visits and meetings with leading business and government officials give students the chance to learn the lay of the land.

ThinK More sTrATegicAlly. negoTiATe More effecTively.

I wanted to move my career ahead. I saw the many positive attributes of an MBA degree and how it would open doors in my organization. When a good friend told me about the Kellogg Executive MBA Program in Miami, it motivated me even more.

At Kellogg, I knew I’d be sharing a learning experience with a great group of professionals. On my first day of class, I learned that “diversity” takes on a whole new meaning at the school. No one has the same profession or home country. That alone is an incredible experience, as it helps you develop sensitivities that are necessary for working in a global environment.

The team environment works beautifully. It promotes open dialogue and helps team members develop strong relationships. My peers have told me that I’ve definitely become more assertive. It’s a great compliment coming from a group with such high standards.

At work, I’ve become a more strategic thinker. In meetings, I know how to deliver a stronger message. I’ve learned how to negotiate better with clients. I’m more effective when communicating with clients, meeting face-to-face with people and engaging in strategic negotiations that are key to my success.

BroAden your PersPecTives.eXPecT More.

Over the course of my career at IBM, I’ve advised Fortune 500 executives, government leaders and military generals. And I’ve observed firsthand that many of the world’s greatest leaders rely on collaboration to generate and exchange ideas, and to achieve something aspirational.

As someone who advises corporate stewards and government leaders, it’s important for me to understand the complexities of an ever-changing, interconnected world. So when I was considering business schools, I knew I needed a place where I could interact with professionals committed to better understanding the transforming world.

Kellogg is exactly that place. It fosters a culture built on collaboration. And it attracts engaged faculty and students who are driven by collective innovation.

Kellogg has helped me become a better version of myself. I came to the program experienced in writing speeches for notable politicians, government leaders and corporate titans, but have been challenged by faculty to communicate messages with less words and more conviction. And even though I have helped Fortune 500 clients and government agencies achieve sustainable growth, the Kellogg community has pushed me to strive for higher standards of managerial excellence.

Here, business leaders learn how to influence culture, build businesses with entrepreneurial zeal and pioneer unchartered territories. Kellogg’s collaborative environment encourages us to build something bigger than ourselves.

“Kellogg’s collABorATive environMenT encourAges us To Build soMeThing Bigger ThAn ourselves.”
