Admission Criteria

An admissions committee thoroughly reviews each application and considers the nature and scope of the applicant’s responsibilities. For the benefit of class members, sponsoring organizations and the integrity of the program, the committee seeks to admit individuals with diverse skills and experiences and who meet the qualification criteria as described above under 'You are someone/Who Should Attend'.

Kellogg expects that participants will attend all sessions, immerse themselves completely in the experience and free themselves of all other obligations while the program is in session.

Sponsorship

To enroll in the Executive Development Program, you must have a sponsor from your organization, someone familiar with your background and motivations for attending. This could be the person to whom you report, your organization’s chief human resources officer or the person responsible for management development in your organization.

Should you be interested in self-funding your participation, please reach out to Kellogg’s Academic Development Advisor for this program to discuss options.

Language

This program is taught in English and there is a considerable amount of reading material (e.g., case studies and articles) given in advance and during the program. Strong English language skills are essential in order to comprehend the reading materials and contribute meaningfully to classroom and study group discussions. Proficiency in reading, writing and speaking English is required for a successful educational experience.

Admissions Process

Class size is limited to maximize classroom and study group participation, so early application is encouraged. EDP applications are accepted on a rolling basis and are reviewed upon submission until the program fills.

Certificate

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

Cost

The fee for EDP is payable in U.S. dollars. The fee covers tuition, class materials, accommodations, and most meals. Enrollment is not confirmed until full payment is received. Payment may accompany the application or an invoice may be requested. Full payment is due within 30 days of the invoice date. If the participant is enrolling within 30 days of the program’s start date, full payment is due immediately. 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.

There is an additional fee of $3000 for the optional coaching program, which covers all individual coaching sessions (during and after the program). This will be invoiced separately.

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.
