Our students are talented, dedicated, and passionate about their careers and take advantage of +Kelley after completing undergraduate degrees from universities such as Indiana University College of Arts and Sciences, the Kelley School of Business, DePauw University, and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. If this sounds like you, we encourage you apply.

+Kelley application requirements

Application requirements vary by degree plan. Be sure to apply directly to your desired degree. Graduate applications will generally consider your:

  • Academic records

    In addition to your GPA from each college or university you’ve attended, we’ll also look at what you studied, your balance of “poet” (communications) to “quant” (quantitative and analytical) courses, and the overall trend of your grades. IU students do not need to submit an IU transcript. 

  • Recommendations

    We want to make sure Kelley is your best degree option—your recommenders, people who know you academically and professionally, will help us gain a complete understanding of you and your capabilities. Two names and email address are required.

  • Personal statement

    You are more than your test scores and GPA—this is your place to share your story, leadership experience, and career goals—and demonstrate your writing and communication style in 500-700 words. Submit this and your resume in PDF format. 

  • GRE/GMAT scores

    As a +Kelley student with a minimum 3.2 (on a 4.0 scale) GPA, you do not have to submit standardized test scores. 

  • Application fee

    The application fee is $75.

International Students

If English isn’t your first language, you’ll also need to take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). Be sure to check the admissions requirements for your degree plan for the test and scores that are required. 

Application deadlines

The +Kelley program has limited space. We encourage applicants to apply by the priority deadline of January 15 for the best chances for acceptance. International students should consult with the program office for their application deadline. The final deadline for domestic applicants is March 1.
