KELLOGG EXPANDS PREMIER EXECUTIVE MBA GLOBAL NETWORK SCHOOL PARTNERS WITH GUANGHUA SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT IN BEIJING Kellogg recently launched a new Executive MBA program in partnership with the Guanghua School of Management at Peking University, one of the top academic institutions in China. The Guanghua-Kellogg program will be fully integrated into Kellogg’s Executive MBA Global Network, which includes partners Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Hong Kong), Tel Aviv University (Israel), WHU (Germany) and York University (Canada), as well as Kellogg’s programs in Chicago and Miami. Taught by Guanghua and Kellogg faculty, the program will equip executives for success in China and the global market by focusing on the following themes: megatrends and opportunities, analytical skills and decision-making, strategic leadership, globalization, and understanding stakeholders. “Through our unique global EMBA network, which now includes Guanghua, we offer students a distinctive learning experience, preparing them to lead in the complex global economy,” said Dean Sally Blount ’92. Based on Peking University’s main campus in Beijing and at its new facility in Shanghai, the program will offer courses primarily in weeklong segments to reduce the amount of travel required for students and faculty. Students will also take classes at Kellogg’s Chicago-area campus with other students from around the global network, and will have the opportunity to take electives at Kellogg’s four other global partner schools. Applications for the 22-month Guanghua-Kellogg program are being accepted now. The first cohort will begin in September. Learn more about Kellogg’s new EMBA partnership at: kell.gg/guanghua
