Personalize your education to successfully change careers.
At Kelley, we start with you—helping you change careers through the right academic focus in our proven two-year curriculum that lets you tailor your education to your future, with leadership, global opportunities and teamwork built into the program.
After you understand the basics of business, you’ll start to specialize, designing your own academic schedule of electives starting in the second semester of your first year—a huge advantage in your internship and career focus.
From the start, a Kelley MBA is your MBA—your major, your Academy and a minor or dual degree if you choose, all leading to the career you want. And, with faculty, mentors and career coaches to help get you there.
You’ll start with the Integrated Core your first semester, an intense 15-week program, led by a team of Kelley’s best faculty members, providing a strong, coordinated foundation in business fundamentals and how they work together:
Business Communication
Critical Thinking
Economic Foundations
Finance
Financial Accounting
Marketing
Operations Strategy
Quantitative Analysis for Business Decisions
Strategic Management
Throughout the Core, you’ll be on a small team with fellow students from a diverse range of professional and cultural backgrounds. Together, you’ll work on projects, become better managers, stronger collaborators, build lasting bonds, and gain a new understanding of the business world.
You’ll choose one of Kelley’s industry-focused Academies, giving you career experience through real-world cases and consulting projects while still in school—and a huge advantage in your job search.
Select from one of Kelley's seven majors or design your own. With approximately six additional credit hours (four courses), you can also add a minor in another academic area.
Apply your expertise to some of today’s most pressing business issues through our Certificate Programs.
While pursuing your MBA, you can pursue an additional master’s degree in another Indiana University school through our Joint Degree Programs.
With Kelley’s global experiences, you can be immersed in international business through our innovative, student-led programs.
