MBA career support that empowers your success

You’re here to gain foundational skills, broaden your perspectives, and launch a new career. In the Kelley Full-Time +Flex Program, we start thinking about your career before you step into the classroom, helping you better understand who you are now, who you want to become, and how to get there. The result? When you meet recruiters—even in the first few weeks of the program—you’ll be ready with a powerful story to share.

+Flex MBA career paths to fit your goals

Your first MBA year is focused on career development and maximizing the benefits of an on-campus experience. In year one you will:

  • Meet in person with top recruiting firms
  • Build your professional network
  • Secure a summer internship

With +Flex, you have the option to start a full-time position after your first year—potentially with the company of your internship—while finishing your degree online.

Craft your personal brand with Me, Inc.

Your career development starts with Me, Inc., held over the three weeks before classes begin. During this immersive experience, you’ll work with our MBA career coaches to build a strong resume and develop a personal brand that sets you apart to employers.

You’ll gain a better understanding of yourself and use that to identify the right professional fit for your skills, personality, and values.

Professional development before MBA classes begin

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.580
[MUSIC PLAYING]

00:00:02.580 --> 00:00:07.530
Me, Inc. is a signature part
of the Kelley Full-Time MBA

00:00:07.530 --> 00:00:08.340
program.

00:00:08.340 --> 00:00:12.360
It is our three-week, immersive
professional development

00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:15.390
experience for our
brand new students.

00:00:15.390 --> 00:00:19.230
It takes place before the
students have even attended

00:00:19.230 --> 00:00:21.450
their first MBA courses.

00:00:21.450 --> 00:00:24.150
Me, Inc., I think for
me, I would summarize it

00:00:24.150 --> 00:00:27.900
as a period of
discovery, the chance I

00:00:27.900 --> 00:00:30.340
had to talk about my story.

00:00:30.340 --> 00:00:34.230
I think that kind of helped
me understand where I've been,

00:00:34.230 --> 00:00:38.070
where I'm at currently, and
where I'm poised to get to.

00:00:38.070 --> 00:00:40.620
Me, Inc. is all about
exploring yourself

00:00:40.620 --> 00:00:42.210
and a lot of introspection.

00:00:42.210 --> 00:00:44.910
You get to know your inner self.

00:00:44.910 --> 00:00:46.860
And the best part
is that you get

00:00:46.860 --> 00:00:48.990
to do with all your
classmates around you.

00:00:48.990 --> 00:00:51.340
So you connect with
them more closely.

00:00:51.340 --> 00:00:57.420
We have students spend some time
crafting their personal brand,

00:00:57.420 --> 00:01:01.590
thinking about what kind of
experiences and skill set

00:01:01.590 --> 00:01:04.000
are they going to share
with recruiters that

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.040
reinforce that personal brand.

00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:11.500
Your personal brand is not only
a reflection of your integrity

00:01:11.500 --> 00:01:13.090
and who you are and
what you believe,

00:01:13.090 --> 00:01:15.580
but it's also what you
want to portray to others

00:01:15.580 --> 00:01:17.595
and how you want
others to perceive you.

00:01:17.595 --> 00:01:18.970
I will say the
biggest thing that

00:01:18.970 --> 00:01:20.980
resonated with me
is how I've been

00:01:20.980 --> 00:01:23.770
able to connect my values
as a person to my values

00:01:23.770 --> 00:01:24.790
as a professional.

00:01:24.790 --> 00:01:26.590
When you really
reflect on what matters

00:01:26.590 --> 00:01:28.360
to you as an
individual, it starts

00:01:28.360 --> 00:01:30.490
to fall in line like the
certain professional paths

00:01:30.490 --> 00:01:31.323
that I want to take.

00:01:31.323 --> 00:01:33.280
My favorite thing
was we put together

00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.190
a 30-second speech called
"Tell Me About Yourself,"

00:01:36.190 --> 00:01:38.830
where we give our pitch
that we'll use at networking

00:01:38.830 --> 00:01:40.300
conferences or in interviews.

00:01:40.300 --> 00:01:42.490
And we stood in a line.

00:01:42.490 --> 00:01:45.783
And then we just rapid
fire gave our speech

00:01:45.783 --> 00:01:47.950
to all of those people over
and over and over again.

00:01:47.950 --> 00:01:51.280
And it was a really succinct
way to improve quickly.

00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.482
I think the Case
Competition, while one

00:01:53.482 --> 00:01:54.940
of the more
challenging things that

00:01:54.940 --> 00:01:57.110
I think you do as part
of the Me, Inc. program,

00:01:57.110 --> 00:01:58.990
it's just a really
good opportunity

00:01:58.990 --> 00:02:01.360
to work under pressure,
work with the team.

00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:04.383
You get some of the hard skills
that you need for consulting.

00:02:04.383 --> 00:02:05.800
But on the other
hand, you're also

00:02:05.800 --> 00:02:09.440
developing some soft skills
with teamwork and collaboration.

00:02:09.440 --> 00:02:12.025
I think the biggest
takeaway I have from the Me,

00:02:12.025 --> 00:02:16.180
Inc. program is that this
MBA program is more than just

00:02:16.180 --> 00:02:18.520
building my quantitative and
core foundational business

00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:19.130
skills.

00:02:19.130 --> 00:02:21.010
It's about making
the relationships.

00:02:21.010 --> 00:02:23.950
You really find out
who you are and how

00:02:23.950 --> 00:02:28.270
you can connect your
personality, your skills,

00:02:28.270 --> 00:02:30.730
to put yourself in
the best position

00:02:30.730 --> 00:02:34.060
to succeed going through
this experience and something

00:02:34.060 --> 00:02:37.720
that I think won't just
affect me for my time

00:02:37.720 --> 00:02:39.580
here at Kelley but for my life.

00:02:39.580 --> 00:02:43.270
Often, people are expected
to know exactly what they

00:02:43.270 --> 00:02:46.210
want to do the minute they step
onto the campus of a business

00:02:46.210 --> 00:02:46.870
school.

00:02:46.870 --> 00:02:49.300
But with Me, Inc., you
really have some time

00:02:49.300 --> 00:02:51.790
to do some introspection
on your own

00:02:51.790 --> 00:02:54.640
and figure out where you want
to take the degree while having

00:02:54.640 --> 00:02:57.100
the support of your
classmates and the faculty all

00:02:57.100 --> 00:02:58.330
before classes start.

00:02:58.330 --> 00:03:00.910
I don't know of any
other MBA program

00:03:00.910 --> 00:03:03.280
that does something like we do.

00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:07.540
And students derive a tremendous
amount of value from it.

00:03:07.540 --> 00:03:09.900
We're proud of that.

00:03:09.900 --> 00:03:15.000
