Applicants who live in the United States (regardless of citizenship) have two options:
Undergraduate degree requirements at your home institution must be completed no later than May 15 of the year you are applying for the MSIS program. Applicants currently residing outside of the US must complete MSIS Core prerequisite courses by enrolling in the MSIS Jumpstart program. Completion satisfies all prerequisites.
The Jumpstart program is typically offered to US degree holders in mid-May and non-US degree holders in early June. The prerequisite courses for the Jumpstart program are taught in-residence at the Kelley School of Business. More details regarding Jumpstart registration and payment are sent to applicants after acceptance of the admission offer.
Applicants are eligible to apply during their senior year of a bachelor's degree program or within three years of earning their bachelor's degree.
