Healthcare at Kellogg

Immerse yourself in our Deep Dive experience

The Kellogg Deep Dive immersion weekends bring Full-Time, Evening & Weekend and Executive MBA students together to listen, learn, discuss and innovate solutions in the healthcare industry.

Built-in opportunities

There was a lot from this deep dive format—everyone being there and immersed in the discussion, networking across MBA programs—that would be a lot harder in a traditional 10-week class.
