PT Application Volume Up 40% at Kellogg
The number of applications for summer 2006 entry to Kellogg's part-time The Manager's Program is reported to have grown by 40 per cent over last year.
Kellogg designed The Manager's Program to meet the educational needs of business professionals working in the Chicago area. Graduates follow the same coursework and learn from the same faculty that full-time Kellogg MBA students do, graduating in two and a half to five years with a Kellogg MBA. Applicants -- who must present proof of full-time employment, and who must maintain full-time employment throughout the program -- can enroll in any quarter. (For more information, go to www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/tmp/index.htm.)
Application volume to MBA programs across the country has grown significantly over the last year, driven by a healthy economy and improved job prospects for b-school graduates. Although it is still too early for most schools to report final statistics for the 2005-2006 application season, preliminary figures show that application volume rose at top schools. The Chicago Graduate School of Business estimates that its application volume is at least a third higher than it was last year. Yale reported an almost 10 per cent increase in applications, and Tuck and Goizueta officials have spoken of 40 per cent application growth.
Business school application volume still has a way to go before it returns to the peak levels that were seen half a decade ago. However, given continuing good news on the economic and job fronts, it's safe to assume that application volume will rise again this coming year. Applicants for fall 2007 admissions to top MBA programs are bound to see more competition than those two or three years ahead of them did -- but that difficulty is all but certain to be offset by a greater number of job offers and even more generous compensation packages.
