Get a #1–ranked program at a cost you can afford
We don’t compromise, and neither should you. Because our program is completely run by the Kelley School of Business, our online MBA students get the same quality and rigor of our in-person programs. And since we aren’t paying hefty fees to a third-party online program manager, we’re also able to keep tuition costs well below those of our peers. This means you’ll get an affordable online MBA that doesn’t cut corners.

Learn from full-time Kelley School of Business faculty
All of our online MBA classes are designed and taught by full-time Kelley School of Business faculty, not temporary contract professors hired to cover online classes. They’re the same faculty who teach in our in-person programs, and their commitment to online teaching—and creating valuable learning experiences for online MBA students—is a core part of their jobs at Kelley.
“The faculty are invested, and they want to see you succeed. They know your name, and they look forward to seeing you in class and hearing your opinions.”
Rosalyn Hurt-Steverson, MBA’19Global Account Manager, Audit & Assurance, Deloitte, Princeton, NJ

Seriously impressive business knowledge and skills.
