Undergraduate

From one-person startups to multinational companies with thousands of employees, effective management—of people, of resources, and even of time—is the key to success in any business.

The Kelley Department of Management and Entrepreneurship offers the education, experience, and connections you need to be successful after graduation. Taught by world-class faculty members who are both dedicated teachers and researchers, our curriculum will immerse you in the important concepts and essential skills you'll need for exciting careers in the following areas:

Many students in our department are also invited to participate in two highly selective Kelley programs. The Consulting Workshop is for students who are interested in pursuing a career in consulting. The Target Excellence in Business Leadership program is a hands-on program leadership program that is funded by a grant from Target. Both programs offer exceptional real-world opportunities and learning experiences by connecting students with professionals in the field as well as hiring companies.
