The Kellogg experience 

With the option to attend classes on either our Chicago or Miami campuses and choose from more than 50 domestic and international electives, you can customize your EMBA experience to best support your professional goals and interests. Our top-tier program is also STEM-designated and offers our students an opportunity to earn certificates in Healthcare Leadership or Product Management. 

At both campuses, you’ll be welcomed into a global network of accomplished peers from diverse industries, each bringing unique insights and experiences to the classroom. This collaborative environment fosters a rich exchange of ideas, helping you broaden your perspective on business challenges and opportunities. 

“The journey through the school's EMBA Program has been one of the most demanding yet rewarding endeavors of my life,” says Nitin Chawla ’24 MBA. “One of the most invaluable aspects of my Kellogg Executive MBA journey has been the opportunity to forge lifelong friendships and establish a strong network of professional connections.”  

“The more you go up the ladder, the more soft skills you need and the more management and leaderships skills you need.”

Tailored leadership development 

At its core, the Kellogg EMBA program doesn’t just teach you how to lead; it challenges you to think deeply about the kind of leader you want to be. 

“I find that the more you go up the ladder, the more soft skills you need and the more management and leaderships skills you need,” says Delphine Gardere ’24 MBA.  “Sometimes you don't want to go out in the real world and test these skills and make a mistake. In the classroom you're in a safer zone to see what you're good at and where you need to improve.” 

Through rigorous coursework and experiential learning, you’ll develop the skill you need to navigate complex challenges, drive innovation and lead with intention. The Kellogg EMBA Program goes beyond technical skills by shaping leaders who can create lasting impact, in their organizations and in the broader business world. 

Classes start in January 

2025 could mark the beginning of an exciting new chapter for you — one where you’re equipped with the tools, knowledge and network to drive real change in your career and beyond.
