Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management plans to establish hubs on two more continents as part of a global expansion, according to a report yesterday in the Financial Times.
In addition to its home campus in Evanston, outside of Chicago, Kellogg will establish at least two more centers, including one in Asia, Dean Sally Blount told the FT. “To be a global player you have to have more than one home,” she said.
Kellogg has not yet indicated whether the new centers will be stand-alone campuses or centers established with partner institutions, the FT reports. Kellogg does already have a strong relationship with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, where it offers an executive MBA program.
Blount also confirmed that Kellogg will continue its accelerated one-year MBA program, which has enjoyed lots of traction. She also said that the school is at work on a new five-year plan which will include three to five big ideas “to regenerate a school that has a great legacy,” according to the FT. She expects this new plan to be in place by December 2011.
