Eligibility

To be considered for admission to the Kellogg-Schulich Executive MBA Program, candidates should have outstanding promise and leadership potential, and hold an undergraduate degree with a "B" average or higher from a recognized university. A GMAT score will be required if the degree cannot be presented.

Proficiency in reading, writing and speaking English is also required as participation in classes and small group work require strong language skills. Candidates whose first language is not English must provide evidence of English proficiency, with the exception of those who have completed at least two years of undergraduate or graduate studies where classes were conducted in English. A test that includes oral proficiency is preferred such as the International English Language Test (IELT), which does test oral proficiency. The minimum acceptable score on the IELT is 7. The TOEFL does not test oral ability, and therefore, applicants will be required to be interviewed in addition to providing a TOEFL score. The minimum acceptable TOEFL score is 600 (paper-based), 250 (computer-based) or 100 (internet-based).

Candidates are typically mid-career or senior executives who average 13 years of work and 8 years management experience. This can include executive, functional and/or project management experience. Successful entrepreneurs are also encouraged to apply. All candidates are personally interviewed by the Program Director. Please note that admission to the program is competitive and therefore meeting the minimum admission requirements does not guarantee admission to the program . The Application Package includes full details of the application process.
