| The
Degree Enhancement Program (DEP)
It
has been Kellogg’s philosophy that education and
professional development are part of a life-long learning
process. We hope that when students graduate from Kellogg
they will continue learning. To that end, and in order
to jump start your education and professional development
after graduating from Kellogg, I would like to give
you the program guidelines for the Degree Enhancement
Program.
This
program allows recent graduates to register for a maximum
of three Part-Time MBA Program courses during the next
academic year after graduation without
any tuition charge.
Here’s
how it will work. Upon entry into the Degree Enhancement
Program, a Part-MBA Time Program graduate will sign
an agreement stating that he/she will abide by the Kellogg
Honor Code and the following program guidelines:
|
|
A
maximum of three (3) Part-Time MBA Program courses
can be completed with no tuition charge. |
|
|
Courses
must be completed during the academic year following
graduation from Kellogg. (For example: The Class
of 2007 must complete courses during the 2007-2008
school year). |
|
|
DEP
participants will be allowed to enroll in open courses
after all Kellogg degree-seeking students have registered. |
|
|
Each
quarter, DEP participants will select courses from
the list of available evening courses. |
|
|
Students
in DEP will register manually with the assistance
of the Part-Time MBA Program registrar and registration
will be accommodated on a first come, first serve
basis. |
|
|
Once
enrolled in a course, the DEP student must satisfy
the same requirements as any other student in the
course. DEP students cannot use the Pass/No
Credit option. |
|
|
The
final grade received in the course will be included
on the DEP participants’ existing Northwestern
University transcript. As a result, courses taken
with the Degree Enhancement Program can be used
to satisfy requirements for additional majors to
the participant’s MBA. |
|
|
Any
DEP student who drops a course between the 3rd and
10th week of any class will forfeit his/her opportunity
to register for any future courses offered in the
program. |
|
|
The
Kellogg School reserves the right to withdraw a
student from the program at any time. |
|
|
The
Kellogg School will evaluate the Degree Enhancement
Program on an annual basis and reserves the right
to change or cancel the program at any time. |
In
order to enroll yourself in the Degree Enhancement Program
(DEP), please follow the following procedures:
|
1. |
Review
the schedule
of available classes. |
|
2. |
Complete
the DEP registration
form and fax it to 312-503-6530. Please send
it to the attention of Sarah Francis by
Friday, September 7th. |
|
3. |
The
Registrars' Office will confirm your registration
after it has been processed. Registration will be
done on a first come, first serve basis. |
I
am very excited about the opportunity that this program
provides to the Class of 2007. In addition to augmenting
your educational and professional development after
graduation from Kellogg, the Degree Enhancement Program
will allow you the opportunity to supplement your Kellogg
MBA with additional majors or take extra classes within
an area of personal or professional interest.
