Welcome your family to Kelley, a family-friendly MBA program

If pursuing an MBA is a family decision, the Kelley Partners Club is here for you—offering a support network and social calendar to help you, your spouse or partner, and your whole family share your MBA experience while taking advantage of all that Kelley, Bloomington, and IU have to offer.

The Kelley Partners Club provides:

  • An orientation for spouses or partners during Kelley Experience Weekend in the spring
  • Social activities from dinners to hiking, wine tasting to tailgating
  • A support network that understands the unique stresses (and successes!) of the MBA program
  • A community to help with life events, such as meal circles for new parents
  • Job search assistance to partners and spouses
  • Volunteer events to connect to the greater Bloomington community

Families can also join Kelley Kids through the Kelley Partners Club, scheduling family-oriented events including:

  • A weekly playgroup
  • Library, farmers’ market, and museum visits (WonderLab is a favorite!) and family field trips
  • Informal family gatherings for meals and holidays

The same accolades that make Indiana University and Bloomington a great place for Kelley students to study and live make it a great place for your partner and family—affordable and family friendly with easy transportation and something for everyone.

“Kelley Partners Club and Kelley Kids helped my family feel at home in Bloomington. Together our family found the support we needed—from community resources and childcare to fun club activities and small-group meetups at the park. It enhanced our overall experience at Kelley to make friends who are there for us, even while I was working on a full-time MBA.”

Andrew Lash, MBA’24Senior Brand Manager, Proctor & Gamble

Kelley’s not the only top school in town. Bloomington’s public schools, the Monroe County Community School Corporation, earned the Indiana Department of Education’s highest ranking.
