MIT McKinsey: Advanced Professional Degree Candidates
Calendar of Events: On-line Events
2025 graduates: We invite you to learn more about McKinsey, our people, a career in consulting and the application process through our upcoming events. Registration information is below. Please check back for more information on our fulltime application deadline, coming soon.
What Is Advanced Professional Degree?
Advanced Professional Degree (APD) represents candidates who are postdocs or working toward the following degrees: PhD, MD (including medical interns, residents and fellows), JD, PharmD, Nursing, and non-MBA Masters. Non-MBA Master candidates must have at least four years in between the completion of their undergraduate degree and graduate degree to be qualified as having an APD. If a non-MBA Masters candidate does not have four years in between completion of their undergraduate and graduate degrees, they would qualify for our business analyst positions.
