Is math required for admission to Kelley?

Students should follow the ALEKS math placement guidelines, in consultation with their academic advisor, and take the course(s) as directed by the placement exam.

MATH-M 118 (or equivalent course) should be successfully completed no later than the first semester of the second year, as MATH-M 118 is a prerequisite to ECON-E 370/STAT-S 301, which must be successfully completed prior to I-Core.

MATH-M 119 (or equivalent course) should be successfully completed no later than the second semester of the second year, as MATH-M 119 is a prerequisite to I-Core.

Equivalent courses for both MATH-M 118 AND MATH-M 119.

Choose how you will complete Kelley math requirements:

  1. Complete MATH-M 118 and/or MATH-M 119 at IUB. If taken at IUB during the first-year, these course(s) will be a part of the admissions review.
  2. Complete MATH-M 118 and/or MATH-M 119 at another college or university. Use the IU Credit Transfer Service to find a transferable course(s) and view transfer credit policies and processes. These course(s) will not be a part of the admissions review.
