The
Part-Time MBA Program is designed for fully employed
students who intend to pursue the MBA degree while they
continue their careers in the Chicago area. The program
traditionally has had little involvement in formal career
development services. An approach of limited assistance
is appropriate given that most students receive tuition
benefits and other forms of financial aid from employers.
It would raise ethical problems for Kellogg to provide
direct career management services to persons in these
circumstances.
Kellogg will
provide access for some part-time students to enroll
in the formal Career Management process. These students
are eligible for the same career development assistance
as the full-time students, including individual career
counseling, access to the Career Management Center and
participation in on-campus recruiting.
To qualify
to use Kellogg's Career Management Center services,
a student must be graduating during the current academic
year and not have received any tuition reimbursement
from his or her employer. Exceptions are made for those
who have written authorization from their employers.
If the student's present employer no longer offers tuition assistance as a benefit, the student does not need to submit the authorization letter from his/her manager.
This policy
regarding the use of career management services is continually
under review by the faculty, students and administration
of Kellogg. Consequently, this policy is subject to
change without notice.
Therefore,
in the interest of best preparing its students to represent
themselves and the School, Kellogg has established a
deadline by which students must commit themselves to
the recruiting process and register for career management
services.
The registration process for utilizing the Career Management Center of the Kellogg School of Management is from April 6 – May 16, 2009. There will not be any extensions of this deadline.
Students registering for the CMC must follow these guidelines:
- The student will be completing all of his/her Kellogg PTMBA program degree requirements between December, 2009 and August 2010.
- If a student has received any amount of tuition assistance from his/her current employer, the student must have a letter of authorization signed by his/her direct manager. The template required for this letter is below. However, if the present employer no longer offers tuition assistance as a benefit, the student does not need the authorization letter.
- If a student has not received any tuition assistance at all from his/her current employer, no authorization letter is required.
- The student must complete the registration form below.
- If a student has 7 or more years of work experience, the student will be asked to meet with a CMC counselor prior to the start of activities in the summer quarter to manage expectations of the CMC experience.
Students who participate in the CMC for the 2009-2010 academic year will begin CMC activities in late June, once the summer quarter begins.
