Executive Education

	"The complexity of the Health Care transformation taking place in our country today demands the dissection, dialogue, and debate that this course offers in order to appropriately prepare for the change of tomorrow." Vice President of Corporate Affairs and Government Programs, United Healthcare of North Carolina

The Kellogg School's Executive Education Programs are consistently rated at the very top in executive education. U.S. News and World Report, Financial Times and Business Week all proclaim the Kellogg School's programs to be among the best in the world. The school draws annually more than 5,800 individuals from all over the world to partake in its execution education experience.

The Health Industry Management Program is a leader in designing and conducting customized executive development programs for individual companies, industries, professional associations, health systems and hospitals. These programs are designed and taught by senior members of the Kellogg School's distinguished faculty. They are scholars of distinction, well known for their research and their experience in working with business, government, regulatory bodies, and executive education programs. Experts from outside the school are also invited to make presentations in some programs.

The Kellogg School's philosophy of teamwork and interactive group study is another vital component of the executive education experience. Participants are actively involved in their own learning through class discussions, breakout sessions and informal contacts with their peers and with faculty.

	"As healthcare extends itself deeper into the dark labyrinth of managed care, Kellogg is right there, holding a bright light to illuminate the way." Group Manager, Novartis Nutrition Corp.

Health Industry Management faculty also teach in open-enrollment short term educational programs which are designed to meet the needs and expectations of executives from all over the world and from a wide variety of careers as well as organizations. Open enrollment programs include:
