Jump-Start Your Career with a Kellogg MBA
Kellogg Emerging Leaders is a new 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.
In addition to several specialized benefits, 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.
Here's what you can look forward to as a Kellogg Emerging Leader:
- Tailored leadership and career development to help you identify and develop your leadership style and best career path
- Small-group career coaching sessions with some of the most seasoned coaches in the industry
- An opportunity to be mentored by fellow Evening & Weekend MBA students from a diverse array of industries — financial services, consulting, technology, biotech and others
- Lead and participate in program activities to forge bonds, stimulate growth and build memorable experiences
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
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.
