Kellogg – TopMBA

 

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 renowned, 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, emphasizing analytical skills, people skills, in-depth business fundamentals, teamwork and action-learning. The Kellogg curriculum is designed so that students build a strong business foundation through required core courses and also have the flexibility to pursue a wide variety of elective courses. Of the more than 180 electives offered, several incorporate real-time and real world problem-solving projects with companies worldwide and prepare students for today’s management issues.

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.

Today, this spirit of innovation continues under Dean Dipak C. Jain, who assumed this leadership role in July 2001. During his tenure, Dean Jain has traveled extensively throughout the world to remain connected with Kellogg alumni, recruiters, and corporate leaders and ensure that the school’s graduates continue to receive the cutting-edge training required for them to become top leaders in the contemporary business world.

In January 2006, the Kellogg School launched its Kellogg-Miami Executive MBA Program located just outside of downtown Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. The program is being initiated as part of a strategic global expansion campaign for the Kellogg School, geared toward better serving business education needs worldwide. Kellogg-Miami will use the same successful methods that are the foundation of the existing Kellogg School North American EMBA programs held on the Northwestern University campus in suburban Chicago. Additionally, the program will offer Latin America-focused electives for those students who are interested. The Kellogg EMBA program has been ranked number one by BusinessWeek and U.S. News & World Report for more than a decade.

In Brief: Cultivating Leaders

Continually evaluating its curriculum, the Kellogg School involves students, corporate
leaders, alumni, faculty and recruiters in identifying current and future trends to ensure that its program remains relevant. For example, during pre-term, all incoming full-time MBA students are required to take an intensive management and organizations course. “Leadership in Organizations” focuses on ethical decision making and effective team building, immediately providing new students with a common language about leadership and ethics. In subsequent courses, faculty can discuss the ethical implications of various business decisions. All second-year students are required to complete “Values and Crisis Decision Making.” This intensive course is taken during pre-term, following the students’ completion of summer internships, and culminates in a 24-hour crisis management simulation.

During their time at the Kellogg School, students have numerous opportunities to further
develop their leadership skills through experiential workshops, conferences and other activities.

This fall, the Kellogg School introduced a new integrated curriculum, Social Enterprise at
Kellogg (SEEK), which has been designed to reflect the converging challenges that managers face today in business, government and non-profit organizations. This new curriculum assists the Kellogg School in developing global leaders who will successfully manage a wide variety of organizations and diverse group of stakeholders under the principles of good management and in the service of social development and change.

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 nearly 50,000 alumni worldwide, the Kellogg Alumni Network includes CEOs and senior executives across industries and within the public, private and nonprofit sectors.

The Kellogg School is consistently named among the top management schools in the world in surveys conducted by publications around the world including BusinessWeek, the Economist Intelligence Unit, Financial Times, U.S. News & World Report and The Wall Street Journal. The Kellogg School’s Full-Time MBA program has been ranked the number one graduate school of business in the United States by BusinessWeek a record five times since the biennial survey began in 1988.
