Our approach to business education is drastically different from any other online MBA program.
What does that mean for you?
- No outsourcing! Everything in our program is designed and delivered in house by residential faculty and staff at the Kelley School of Business. No outsourcing to a third-party online program manager (OPM) means lower tuition cost for you, with dollars reinvested right back into the quality of your education.
- Full-time faculty—no adjuncts. Your instructors are the same top faculty who teach in Kelley’s in-residence programs. Our faculty members also travel with our students and teach in person at 12+ optional immersions offered each year in locations throughout the US and around the world.
- Dedicated executive career coaches to guide your career success—now and anytime you need support throughout your career.
- Jellison Studios offers online students the experience of feeling like they are in a live classroom for faculty instruction and interaction with peers. You'll be on the leading edge of new ways to learn, making your time in online classes more valuable and dynamic.

Zach Watt, Production Coordinator, Jellison Studios, Kelley School of Business: The way we learn has changed. Rather than being limited to a classroom, students are now able to learn from anywhere in the world. And in a dispersed online environment, the relationships between instructors and students are more important than ever. Closing the distance between online learners and faculty increases the effectiveness of learning and empowers students to change the world wherever they may be.
At the Kelley School of Business, we use media to close that gap and give every student, no matter where they are, a genuine connection to their instructors, their peers, corporate leaders, and the IU community.
The new Jellison Family Studios provide Kelley faculty with the best technology available to create authentic, genuine connections with students. Whether it’s with pre-recorded video with insightful graphics and animations to make difficult concepts easier to grasp. Or synchronous online courses that ensure every student feels included and heard via a truly shared space with their instructors and peers.
Or utilizing immersive virtual environments to place instructors wherever they choose whether that be a location here on IU’s campus or businesses around the world. Thanks to the generous gift from the Jellison family, the Kelley School of Business is ready to set new standards in education and to help our incredible students be prepared for an even more incredible future.
