Executive Masters in International Logistics at Georgia Tech

Application Process

Admissions Process

The application process can take from 6-12 weeks depending on whether you need to request transcripts from your university, and whether you need to take the GRE/GMAT or the TOEFL English language examination.  Once we have all of your required application materials, an admissions decision will be made within 5 business days.  We accept qualified students on a rolling basis until the class is filled.

Many students desire to approach their companies about sponsoring them for this program and we encourage you to go ahead and begin your application process during that time.  Our open enrollment window is March 1 – October 1 so that students and their companies have time to gain acceptance to the program, and determine methods of payment several months before the semester will begin, in January 2013.

  1. Complete the EMIL Candidate Information Form. This tells us some background information about your work history and helps us determine what the program can do for your career.
