We’re committed to offering an online MBA cost you can afford

You won’t find more affordable tuition rates for a top-ranked online MBA program anywhere else. That’s because we design, manage, and deliver our online MBA entirely in-house (no third-party online program managers involved). This doesn’t just allow us to keep costs down. It also enables us to maintain full control over the quality of our online MBA so you can feel confident you’re getting the best value and the best education.

If you need financial support, we have lots of options to help you pay for your education. Our admissions staff is happy to talk through your questions and guide you to your best financial aid opportunities.

Students may have their tuition billed to a third-party sponsor, such as their employer. Third parties cannot be billed directly if payment is conditional (contingent on grades, for example). Check with your employer about company-sponsored tuition benefits. Learn more about third-party sponsors and billing on the IU Student Central website.

Indiana University is committed to providing support and assistance to military students, veterans, and their families. You will receive instructions on how to use your VA benefits in your IU email. If you need clarification or do not receive these instructions, contact the IU Bloomington Center for Veteran and Military Students.

If you have not applied for your VA benefits and/or need a certificate of eligibility, please check through the Department of Veterans Affairs website.

The public tuition rate listed does not apply to students enrolled through our Corporate Partnership programs. Corporate students should contact their company program administrator with any questions.

For financial aid purposes, Kelley Direct students are considered full time when they register for six or more hours in a term and half time when they register for three to five hours in a term.
