Build a strong foundation for success with +Kelley
No business background or courses are required for most +Kelley programs because of Jumpstart. Prerequisites are required for admission to the +Kelley MS in Accounting with Data and Analytics.
We provide a summer boot camp, Jumpstart, to prepare you to begin the MS in Finance and MS in Information Systems.
Offered once a year on the Bloomington campus in June/July, Jumpstart provides a solid foundation for your graduate coursework in business. Jumpstart consists of a 6 credit hour,Business Foundations course for all +Kelley students, with additional modules—for instance, in Information Systems—tailored to your degree program.
Jumpstart is required for all +Kelley students entering the full-time MSIS and MSF programs. +Kelley students entering one of the online Kelley Direct programs have the option to take the Business Foundations course in June/July.
More details regarding Jumpstart registration and payment are sent to applicants after acceptance of the +Kelley admission offer.
