Kellogg EMBA Program Curriculum Expands
According to a press release recently revealed on the Kellogg School of Management on Northwestern University website, the school’s Executive MBA (EMBA) program has experienced beneficial growth over the past couple of years. This growth is marked by rising enrollment and an expanding curriculum.Last year, several new courses were included in the revamped Kellogg EMBA with focus on global experience and entrepreneurship, including a Growth Strategy Practicum capstone course taught by Linda Darragh. The course allows students to partner with early growth-stage companies facing a specific problem, whether it’s launching a new product or entering a new market, and teaches techniques on how to translate these problems into opportunities.
Kellogg’s course offerings have also expanded to offer two hybrid elective courses: International Finance with Sergio Rebelo and Strategic Brand Management with Alexander Chernev. In these courses, students will complete a portion of the coursework prior to arriving on campus, deepening their global connectivity by having face-to-face instruction over three days in the student’s choice of Toronto or Dusseldorf.
Greg Hanifee, Associate Dean of Kellogg’s Executive MBA Global Network, told the school:
“One of the key success factors in the EMBA program is our ability to present courses that both impart knowledge, but also have applicability to working professionals – they want to be able to take what they’ve been exposed to over the weekend and apply it on Monday. To that end, we’re listening both to the students in terms of what they feel is needed to keep them ahead, and also to the faculty as it relates to what they’re researching.”
“For a working professional audience, relevancy and applicability have a high priority in their curriculum,” said Hanifee. “We feel our new courses focus on presenting cutting-edge concepts to our students that allow them to internalize and then apply.”
