“This partnership is the culmination of a longstanding collaboration between Guanghua and Kellogg,” said Guanghua Dean Hongbin Cai. “The Guanghua-Kellogg EMBA joint degree stands for an education that is prestigious, relevant, and fundamentally international. Our new program pays tribute to Guanghua’s mission of developing truly global modern business leaders.”

Students will also take classes at Kellogg’s Chicago-area campus with international the Kellogg global network. The EMBA curriculum will align with the themes of megatrends and opportunities; analytical skills and decision-making; strategic leadership; globalization; and understanding stakeholders.
