Whether you’ve known from your first day as an IU student that you wanted to earn a degree from the Kelley School, or you’ve only recently discovered your passion for business, we’re excited to have you join us.
Standard admission into Kelley gives you a powerful advantage. You’ll end your first year at IU with a strong GPA and a strong connection to the Kelley experience.
The Kelley School of Business Admissions Committee will be taking Indiana University’s COVID-19 safety precaution changes into consideration when reviewing applications. Students are encouraged to apply if they are eligible and provide as much information as possible about individual situations in the “additional comments” section on the application. Kelley Admissions representatives are available for phone appointments or virtual appointments through Zoom. Please email bschool@indiana.edu to set up an appointment to discuss standard admission.
We look forward to your application!
Criteria for standard admission to the Kelley School will change with the entering class of Fall 2021. For an application to be eligible for review, students must complete:
*Equivalent courses for these classes exist on the IU Bloomington campus. See your advisor for more information.
We recommend that if an intercampus transfer is bringing in BUS courses, they continue on with the next set of I-Core prerequisites. However, the admissions committee will only be looking to see if the first year curriculum above is complete at time of review.
To be automatically admitted to the Kelley School through standard admission, students must achieve B’s and above in all courses. Withdrawals (W’s) will not count against your application, nor will P/F grades received when the course is only offered P/F. Students whose records indicate one or more grades below a B will have their applications comprehensively reviewed. The admissions committee reviews grades in all courses, not just business courses.
Please know that the admissions committee understands that student group and leadership development opportunities have been difficult for many students to pursue due to COVID-19. Lack of involvement will not negatively impact your application.
Should you have questions or concerns about the application process please email bschool@indiana.edu. A Kelley Admissions representative will reach out to via email to set up a phone appointment or a virtual face-to -ace appointment through ZOOM. We thank you for your patience.
Applications for admission will be accepted September 1 through November 1, 2021, for spring 2022 standard admission. If you do not receive the confirmation email within two hours of submitting your application please email bschool@indiana.edu. Most first year students apply during the spring semester of their freshman year and receive notification about their admission in June. Admission decisions are made only after official grades are posted at the end of the application semester.
Please know that the Admissions Committee understands that student group and leadership development opportunities have been difficult for many students this year due to COVID-19. Lack of involvement will not negatively impact your application.

If this is the case, you must complete these courses before the end of the semester in which you apply. Kelley admissions is aware that course availability for SLST courses is limited. Please contact bschool@indiana.edu to learn more about your application timeline for Kelley.
