A PROGRAM FOR WORLD CLASS LEADERS
Two schools. One world class. The Kellogg-HKUST Executive MBA program is a partnership between the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University (Kellogg) and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology’s School of Business and Management (HKUST Business School).
A weekend program suited for executives. The 18 month program is carefully designed for busy executives. Most of the modules are scheduled during weekends so it only requires around 40 days out of the office. We have found this design has the least impact on an executive’s busy schedule. The program schedule includes 18 weekends and 2 live- in week modules in Hong Kong, a 10 day live-in module in Chicago, and global elective weeks in 6 partner school campuses around the world.
