As per Kellogg, their One Year MBA Program is the fastest path to a full time MBA. If you have completed requisite coursework as an undergraduate or graduate, this program allows you to bypass core classes and immediately dive into advance studies that are customized to your career goals and set you apart from the competition.
As per the B-School, the Full-Time MBA Program provides several distinct options to earning your MBA. Each offers extensive options for achieving your personal, professional and educational goals. Whichever one you choose, you’ll develop as a person and learn how to spark growth in any organization. No matter which Full-Time MBA you choose, you will leave with a broad-based, agile skill set that prepares you to lead confidently in the face of unprecedented challenges and enormous opportunities.
As per the B-School, to check eligibility, visit the official website of the B-School and fill the eligibility form. You will get the response in week from the B-school.
While some specific requirements vary from program to program, a bachelor’s or equivalent degree from an accredited college or university is required to apply. Previous study in business or economics is not required, with the exception of the One-Year Program. Since much of the MBA curriculum utilizes quantitative skills, we encourage students to complete introductory courses in calculus and statistics prior to enrolling.
EVALUATION & ASSESSMENT
When the B School evaluate applicants, a few qualities really stand out to us, including the ability to push past comfort zones and question the norm. These qualities help us understand if an applicant is ready to seize all of the opportunities that come with joining Kellogg.
The committee assesses your:
For international candidates, the committee also assesses:
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
The committee also values professional experience that demonstrates maturity and self-awareness, including military service and extracurricular activities. We look for people who are not afraid to question the status quo, can motivate a team to drive impact, and are eager to dive in and collaborate with an engaged, ambitious community of peers.
As per B-School, the interview provides an opportunity for you to learn more about our programs. It also allows the admissions committee to further evaluate your interpersonal and communication skills, career focus and motivations for the Kellogg MBA. We want to look beyond what we see on paper and learn more about you in-person, which is why we strive to interview as many candidates as possible.
On-Campus or Off-Campus Interview
We ask all applicants to indicate their preference for an on-campus or off-campus interview in their application. All interviews are considered equally, regardless of the format. Please note all interview request locations are final.
On-Campus Interview
On-campus interviews may be scheduled online through the applicant status page after you submit a completed application. Interview slots are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Schedule your interview as soon as possible to secure your desired date. Interviews are conducted Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and select Saturdays. On-campus interviews typically last 30-45 minutes.
Off-Campus Interview Request
If you request an off-campus interview, you will be notified of your assignment or waiver via email within four to six weeks from the application deadline. Off-campus interviews are conducted by members of Kellogg’s alumni admissions organization.
Interview Waiver
Due to the high demand for interviews and limited availability of interviewers, you may receive an interview waiver. This will not have a negative impact on your candidacy. If your interview is waived, the admissions committee may contact you to schedule a phone or Skype interview. If you receive a waiver, you may not request a phone or Skype interview.
As a Full-Time MBA student, you’ll complete a core curriculum and then customize your path with more than 160 electives to help refine your expertise.
Students use majors and pathways to tailor their experience. Majors are aligned with academic departments while our unique pathways provide a progression of faculty-recommended courses in specific industries that give you a deeper, more holistic understanding of each field.

As per B-School, they offer a variety of scholarships to exceptional students who have demonstrated professional and personal excellence. When accepted to one of our programs, you are automatically considered for all merit scholarships. We also offer an optional Financial Need Based Scholarship application during the admission process for U.S. Citizens and permanent residents. for more details, you can visit the scholarship page of kellog.
Loan assistance is an option for students who are U.S. citizens and permanent residents through the Federal Loan Programs, including:
Private education loans are available for all students – U.S. citizens, permanent residents and international students.
According to Kellogg, a number of private outside agencies offer students alternative sources for financing their education. Unlike federal loans, the terms of private loans are set by the individual lenders. The interest rate and fees are determined by your credit history, your debt-to-income ratio and that of your co-signer. The interest rates for private educational loans are variable and are most often based on a range using Prime or the London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR) as a base and add an additional percentage based on the borrower’s credit. The current Prime and LIBOR rates are available at the Federal Reserve Statistical Release.
Before deciding on a lender, here are some questions you need to ask:
This lender list was created simply as a starting point for students as they begin their research. It is ultimately the student’s decision to select a private education lender. Students are encouraged to investigate these options very cautiously and thoroughly. The Office of Financial Aid will process a loan with any lender you have selected regardless of their inclusion on this list as long as you are eligible for the loan. The maximum loan amount your financial aid office can certify is the cost of attendance minus any other aid received.
As per the B-School, before applying for these loans it is important for you to ensure that you have reviewed all of your federal loan options and eligibility. Prospective borrowers should note that they may qualify for loans or other assistance under the federal Title IV programs and the terms and conditions of loans under the federal Title IV programs may be more favorable than those of private education loans. Federal loans generally have better benefits and lower, fixed interest rates. We encourage you to consider the Federal PLUS/Grad PLUS Loan (depending on your academic level) before applying for a private loan. Students are encouraged to review the Department of Education’s information on Federal Versus Private Loans and speak to their financial aid office to learn about the Federal Loan programs before you apply for a private educational loan. Undergraduate students applying for federal financial aid may also be eligible for a Federal Pell Grant. More information regarding the Pell Grant program is available on the Undergraduate Financial Aid website.
As per the B-School, the loan programs and lenders listed here are provided to help you start your research. You are not required to only borrow from these options. The lenders included in this lender information were selected via a Request for Information (RFI) process. Any lender providing student loan programs was eligible to submit an RFI.
They chose to list the lenders below based on a review of competitive interest rates and fees, quality of servicing, and borrower benefits. Please contact the lender directly for more information. The links below include lender contact information and the lenders’ application and solicitation disclosures.
Northwestern University’s Office of Financial Aid adheres to the Code of Conduct as established by the Higher Education Opportunity Act as well as the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators’ (NASFAA) Statement of Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct for Institutional Financial Aid Professionals. View Northwestern’s Financial Aid Code of Conduct Policy.
If you have any questions regarding these loans beyond the information provided on the Application and Disclosure links above, please contact the lender for more information.
Your private education lender will require you to complete a Private Education Loan Applicant Self-Certification Form. You should use the version the lender provides as it may contain pre-populated information, but you may use this version if your lender does not provide you with one. For applicants receiving other forms of aid: Information necessary for completing this form, such as cost of attendance and financial assistance received, is available to you via CAESAR > View Financial Aid. Applicants can also contact our office to speak to a financial aid counselor to retrieve this information.
Because this list is large, we have provided a few smaller lists generated off the complete list based on specific borrowing needs.
* Please note that the NU Loan has an option for Kellogg Full-time and EMBA International Students to apply for an NU Loan with an International co-signer. For the NU International Loan, both Option A and Option B, please note that this is a financial need-based loan; therefore, for consideration to apply for this loan, the applicant must first complete the Kellogg Financial Aid application process. Once completed, the Kellogg Financial Aid Office will review the completed application, and notify the student of the loan amount that they are eligible to borrow. Further details are listed on the Northwestern Loan webpage.
