Kellogg School of Management
Founded in 1908, the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University is widely recognized as a global leader in graduate business education. The school is home to a world-class, research-based faculty and MBA students from more than 50 countries and six continents. Indeed, each year, approximately one-third of the school's incoming class comes from outside the United States.
The Kellogg School of Management approaches management education holistically, developing global leaders in a culture of innovation and collaboration. Kellogg supports its mission by immersing students in a program that offers intellectual depth, leadership skills and social responsibility, experiential learning opportunities and a global perspective. The Kellogg School’s unique approach to management education prepares students to become global leaders who can analyze an organization’s structure in depth, find creative solutions to business challenges, and build consensus across diverse groups. The Kellogg curriculum allows students to build a strong business foundation through required core courses and the flexibility to focus on their areas of interest by choosing among more than 200 electives.
Many electives align students with companies worldwide to address a specific business challenge, preparing students for today's management issues through practical experience. During their time at the Kellogg School, students have numerous opportunities to further develop their leadership skills through experiential workshops, conferences and other activities. The school also provides all entering students with a 360-Degree Leadership Assessment program, which queries the students on several aspects of leadership and ultimately provides concrete feedback for the students to develop their own leadership plans. Kellogg offers Full-Time, Part-Time and Executive MBA programs as well as non-degree executive education, along with three joint-degree programs in conjunction with other professional schools at Northwestern University: the JD-MBA, MD-MBA and the Master of Management and Manufacturing program's MBA-MEM. Additionally, the Kellogg School of Management offers an Executive MBA Program in Miami and has alliances with business schools in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Canada. Kellogg revolutionized graduate management education more than 50 years ago when it introduced executive education into its programming, being one of the first business schools to do so. In the 1970s, Kellogg again changed the face of graduate management education when it introduced the teamwork concept into its curriculum. Both the Kellogg executive education and teamwork models have been emulated by business schools worldwide.
The Kellogg School's strong global foundation ensures students and alumni valuable access to companies worldwide and informs faculty expertise on a range of international business issues. The school's partnerships and alliances with renowned universities around the world create numerous opportunities for exchange programs and executive education seminars. With more than 50,000 alumni worldwide, the Kellogg Alumni Network includes CEOs and senior executives across industries and within the public, private and nonprofit sectors.
