Jump-Start Your Career with a Kellogg MBA

Kellogg Emerging Leaders is an opportunity specifically for high-achieving young professionals with three years of experience or less. This offering allows motivated, rising stars to become Kellogg Emerging Leaders by giving them a chance to earn an MBA earlier in their careers while they continue to build upon their work experience.

Students will be fully integrated into the Evening & Weekend MBA Program, meaning they benefit from the same rich academic experience, dedicated career coaching and outstandingly supportive global alumni network as all Kellogg MBAs.

Eligibility & Qualifications

Those considering the Kellogg Emerging Leaders offering should be able to demonstrate:

  • Three years or less of full-time work experience in a professional business environment*
  • Strong undergraduate academic achievement
  • Intelligence, ambition and drive to lead and contribute to the Kellogg community
*Those with more experience are invited to apply to the broader Kellogg Evening & Weekend Program.

Application Details

As an Emerging Leader, you’ll choose your program type (Evening or Weekend) and pace of program completion (Traditional or Accelerated).

Unlike in other early-career MBA programs, you’ll enjoy enrollment flexibility that allows you to begin your MBA journey in any intake period — fall, winter, spring or summer. We are pleased to be able to waive the application fee for all Emerging Leaders applicants. The tuition rate covers all further program benefits.
