Letters of Recommendation
The program requires two letters of recommendation from peers and/or supervisors who know the applicant well, preferably from someone within the applicant's current organization. Extra recommendations may be submitted at the applicant's discretion. Recommenders may submit their letters of recommendation online.

Letter of Organizational Support
The letter of support demonstrates the organization's understanding of its commitment to time requirements and monetary support. The levels of support vary for each organization, so the admissions committee evaluates applications on a case-by-case basis. The level and intensity of sponsorship should reflect the level of investment the organization is making in the candidate's career development. Applicants must submit a paper copy to the EMBA office (see address below).

Official Transcripts
The EMBA Program requires official transcripts from all universities and colleges attended in the United States and abroad, whether the applicant graduated from the institution or took just one class. Each transcript should be submitted in a sealed envelope with the signature or seal of the university registrar.

Applicants with foreign/ international transcripts must request a course-by-course credit evaluation of their transcripts. For a list of all university approved agencies, please visit http://www.naces.org/members.htm.

Honor Code
Applicants should read this online form carefully and submit it as part of their application. Please make sure to check the box indicating agreement or disagreement with the code.

Application Fee
The application fee is $150.00. Fee is charged when application is submitted.

Interview
Applicants must complete a personal interview with one of the program's admissions directors before the application is considered complete. Interviews are an important part of the admissions process, as they add a personal dimension to each application and ensure that the Kellogg School's well established reputation for excellence in teamwork continues. Interviews may be scheduled either in Evanston or Miami, depending on applicant preference and the availability of interviewers. Interviews may be scheduled by phoning the EMBA office.

Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
Applicants whose native language is not English must either take the TOEFL (IBT format) and obtain a score of 100 or better; or take the equivalent of English Composition 101 and 102 at an accredited U.S. College or University. TOEFL scores are valid for 2 years, upon submission of your application. Those students who have completed graduate studies at a U.S.College or University may have the TOEFL requirement waived upon the approval of the Admissions Committee.

GMAT
The Executive MBA Program does not require GMAT scores for most program applicants. Occasionally, applicants may be asked to take the GMAT if the initial review of their transcripts reveals specific areas of concern or question. The admissions committee will make this request only in special circumstances.
