The Kelley Advantage
We take your future as seriously as you do.
Founded in 1920 as the School of Commerce and Finance, and offering our first MBA in 1947—we offer a proven top-ranked MBA program that you can tailor to your goals, allowing you to reach your greatest potential. We keep our class size intentionally small, so we can take the time to get to know you and work with you to discover how to translate your passions, interests, and skills into your best career fit.
At Kelley, you’ll find a culture of collaboration—between your peers, your professors, your Academy director, and your career coach. It’s in every step of how our program works and just one of the advantages a Kelley MBA offers you, along with:
Leadership development begins even before classes through our Me, Inc. orientation program. You’ll learn leadership by leading—with real-world projects, student-led global business initiatives, and in every class we teach.
From a strong foundation in business fundamentals to a deep understanding of yourself, our program provides a holistic, transformative education that prepares you for success. Tailor your degree to your interests through majors, minors, joint degrees, certificates, and electives.
Putting academics into practice, your Academy delivers real career experience in your industry of focus and puts you in front of top companies.
You’ll work with our world-ranked Graduate Career Services and a career coach who truly gets to know you, helps you discover your passion and translates it toward specific functions and industries. We’ll help you tell your story in a way that gets responses from recruiters.
The level of individualized attention throughout the MBA Program results in students prepared to contribute on their first day of the job, and results in Kelley being a top recruiting destination. Kelley's reputation helps open doors wherever your career goals may take you.
Not only is our program among the top in the world, so is our location—Bloomington, Indiana, a “top college town” with an “amazing college campus”—where you will be surrounded by natural beauty, enjoy a low cost of living, and is nationally noted as a best place for food, theater, music, and adventure.
When you join Kelley, you also join our 95,000 alumni—advancing business in every state and on six continents, and a network of business connections who work to advance their fellow alumni.
No matter where you are professionally, if you’re serious about finding a career that energizes and inspires you every day, your future is at Kelley, where choosing to pursue your MBA is a
sound business decision.
