Admissions Criteria & Policies

Admissions Criteria
An admissions committee thoroughly reviews each application and considers the nature and scope of the applicant's responsibilities. For the benefit of the class, sponsoring organizations, and the program, the committee seeks to admit people with comparable management responsibilities who have diverse skills and experiences.

Language
Strong English language speaking, reading, and writing skills are imperative. The faculty and other participants will expect you to be able to contribute fully to classroom and study group discussions.

It is expected that AEP participants will immerse themselves completely in the experience and be free of all other duties. Participants are expected to attend all sessions except in the case of an emergency.

Sponsorship
All applicants to AEP must be sponsored by their organizations. A sponsor is someone who is familiar with the applicant's background and motivations for attending AEP. The sponsor should be the person to whom the candidate reports, the organization's chief human resource officer, or the person responsible for management development.

Admissions Process
Class size is limited to maximize classroom and study group participation, so early application is encouraged. AEP applications are accepted on a rolling basis and are reviewed upon submission until the program fills. For your convenience, you may apply on-line or download an application and mail it in.


Certificate
The Kellogg School of Management awards a certificate upon the successful completion of the AEP program.


Cost
The enrollment fee covers tuition, class materials, accommodations and most meals. Payment is due in US dollars upon receipt of invoice. Please make checks payable to the Kellogg School of Management. Enrollments in Kellogg programs are highly competitive, and places will not be guaranteed until your payment is received.

It is expected that applicants have their own health insurance valid in the United States. The University is not responsible for medical expenses incurred by participants during the program.


Cancellation Policy
Because attendance at a Kellogg School executive program requires significant advance preparation and demand often exceeds capacity, it is important that you contact us in a timely manner if you must cancel or defer your attendance. To receive a full refund of tuition, notice of cancellation must be received more than 30 days in advance of the program start date. Participants who cancel less than 30 days in advance will not receive a refund but may nominate an acceptable substitute or attend a future session of the same program within one year.
