Whether you want to brush up on a specific topic

or would like to audit a course that was newly

added to the Illinois EMBA curriculum, alumni are

welcomed back to the Illini Center to continue

learning after graduation.

Whether it’s Sam Skinner sharing what it was like

working with George W. Bush, Ellen Levy talking

about the dynamics of social networks, or Sam

Zell walking you through real estate issues, the

Innovative Speaker Series is your opportunity to

learn from innovative leaders.

You’ll meet, listen, and learn directly from

successful leaders across a variety of industries

and backgrounds, who enthusiastically share their

career experiences, challenges, and triumphs.

What you see is what you pay.

For the cohort beginning fall 2017, the all-inclusive cost of $97,000 covers all tuition,

fees, course materials, meals, immersion weekend hotels, and travel for the consulting

project over the 19-month program. A non-refundable deposit of $2,000 is required after

Tuition is billed in five equal installments while you’re in the program. We recently added a university-

sponsored monthly payment option to finance a portion of your degree which can extend beyond

graduation if you choose.

Corporate Sponsorship

Many students of the Illinois EMBA program receive corporate sponsorship for their tuition and fees.

Other students are partially sponsored, while still others pay tuition independently. We will work with

your employer’s educational support policy to maximize the support you can receive.

Financing

Financing is available through student loans. Students may apply for federal loans (www.fafsa.ed.gov)

or for a number of private loans. Students who have served in the military may be eligible for the GI

Bill, the Illinois Veteran’s Grant (IVG), or the Illinois National Guard Grant (INGG).


Your journey to brilliant, innovative leadership begins with an application to the Illinois EMBA.

First, we encourage you to schedule a class visit, join us for a meal, and spend time talking

to our students, faculty, and staff. You can then submit completed application materials online

and schedule a personal interview.

An interview is a critical step in the application process. Pursuing an Executive MBA may be

one of the most demanding experiences of your life, so it’s important that you understand the

format of the program and the required commitment. The Admissions Committee also needs

to learn about you and what you can offer the program and your cohort.
