While Great Lakes has a great collection of carefully selected full-time faculty, it is supplemented by superb visiting faculty from leading schools in India and abroad. In fact, one of the unique features of Great Lakes is the fact that 35-50% of courses are taught by visiting faculty drawn from the best schools worldwide. Faculty from Stanford, Kellogg, University of Miami, University of Chicago, National University of Singapore and many other top notch B-schools teach not just for a few hours, but entire courses on a regular basis. Most visiting faculty stay on campus while teaching. This gives students the unique opportunity to interact with these brilliant minds on a regular, after-class basis. Many of our visiting faculty are in fact legends in their areas.
A few courses are also taught by leading professionals in their respective fields. For instance, senior executives from J Walter Thomson (one of the largest advertising agencies) teach the course on Integrated Marketing Communications. Likewise, eminent tax experts teach courses on taxation and so on.
