After earning your engineering degree, a Partner MBA from the Kelley School of Business will give you in-depth business knowledge for growth in your field.

How to apply

For consideration in this program, please apply through Purdue for the Purdue MSE+MBA program. 

To learn more about this Kelley School program, contact us at keeppartner@iu.edu.

The Kelley School of Business is one of the top business schools in the country. As such, the curriculum for our Partner MBA is rigorous. It matches, in breadth and depth, the scope of our standard online and on-campus MBA programs.

After completing your Purdue courses, you will complete a bridge course that will facilitate your transition from Purdue to IU. You will have the option of choosing from a predetermined list which bridge course is right for you.

The program is 100% online with live-virtual sessions typically occurring once a week in the evenings for each course. Through this delivery method, students benefit from instruction by the same distinguished faculty who lead the standard Kelley MBA programs.

Though the majority of your coursework will happen online, Kelley Immersion invites Partner MBA candidates to spend two separate weeks at the Kelley School of Business, a $33-million complex nestled in one of America’s most beautiful college campuses.

You’ll spend one week on campus your first year, and one week on campus your second year. Each immersion week will take place in early September. Travel to Bloomington, Indiana, is required for these courses.

In your final quarter, you’ll complete the Kelley Capstone Experience. This comprehensive project will apply the tools learned throughout the program to address a business challenge.
