As a Kelley MBA student, you’ll quickly find yourself surrounded by talented and highly motivated peers from all over the world. We encourage you to learn about our student-led clubs and organizations and a range of initiatives designed to connect you with peers who will support, motivate and inspire you, and enable you to be your true self.
When you read the Full-Time MBA Program blog, you'll learn about the program through the eyes of first- and second-year students. You'll learn about recruiting tips, exciting milestones, important lessons learned about leadership and friendship, and much more. And you'll also hear from some of our alumni.
You'll get a better feel for our program if you are able to visit campus. Also, check out our options for talking with students and staff in person or virtually.
As a Kelley MBA, you'll call Bloomington, Indiana home for two years. Discover what Danielle VeZolles, MBA'21, loves about "B-town" (and why she thinks you'll love it, too!).
We want our students to begin our program with confidence and to be well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities ahead. You’ll experience this support and commitment to your success in many forms throughout your two years with us. Here are some examples:
Cassie Deguzman, MBA'21 Associate Brand Manager, General Mills Because of my experiences in the Consumer Marketing Academy, which included a project similar to the one I was later assigned during my internship with General Mills, I felt like I knew what to do on day one.
Monica Scinto, MBA’21 Senior Consultant in Finance, EY Me, Inc. was transformational beyond my expectations. I thought I knew who I was going into the program but learned so much more about myself throughout the Me, Inc. process.
Our certified executive career coaches provide our students with the same level of coaching that C-suite executives receive. Your second-year MBA mentor wants you to succeed and will draw from his or her own recent experiences, sharing insights, for example, into networking and navigating the Integrated Core, an intense 15-week program that provides a strong, coordinated foundation in business fundamentals.
Career coaches and peer mentors put a premium on getting to know you and your goals. Expect them to listen closely and to remind you of your vision and values when you have important decisions to make.
Nakia Lee, MBA’22 candidate I definitely feel like the Kelley community has my best interests at heart. I was worried about an interview I had coming up because it was more like a coffee chat than a formal interview, so I texted my peer mentor at the last minute. We were able to get on the phone within an hour to help me know what to expect.
Experience the vibrant culture of a quintessential college town while enjoying an affordable cost of living.
Whether you arrive solo or with a family, move here from across the country or overseas, you’ll find your niche. The MBA program provides resources, such as a housing guide, employment assistance for partners, and outreach efforts by student leaders to help with your transition.
