Accelerated MS in Management

This accelerated business management pathway is available to eligible IU Bloomington students, including students with nonbusiness majors. By combining undergraduate and graduate study, you can develop advanced expertise early, build on your existing academic background, and enter the workforce with a master’s degree sooner.

An accelerated master’s degree can:

  • Save time and reduce the overall cost of earning a graduate degree
  • Allow you to gain advanced, specialized knowledge
  • Strengthen your professional readiness
  • Enhance your career opportunities
  • Transition you seamlessly from undergraduate to graduate study

Plan to apply during your junior year after completing the requirements for your AMP pathway.

Your accelerated business management degree path from bachelor’s to master’s

The MS in Management AMP timeline begins before your senior year, so planning early is important.

Make sure your undergraduate degree plan leaves room for graduate coursework. Learn about MSM by attending an event and meeting students.

Complete your AMP eligibility requirements for MSM, meet with your undergraduate advisor and Kelley Graduate Admissions, and apply to the MSM program.

Meeting minimum eligibility requirements does not guarantee admission. Admission is dependent upon completing your bachelor’s degree requirements and any additional conditions by the required deadlines.
