Curriculum
A hallmark of the Kelley Direct program are the two intensive seven-day, in-person Kelley Connect weeks (totaling 3 credit hours), where students work in a team to develop a solution to a real business challenge facing a real local or international company. As a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the Kelley Connect Weeks have moved virtual and will return to the IU Bloomington campus when it is safe to do so.
The Kelley Direct Online MBA business fundamentals core and elective coursework can be completed fully online. The three terms of 24-credit core courses are spread out over the two-year timeframe, and students can choose to take their 27 credits of electives in one of seven major areas.
At Kelley Direct, we understand that guidance and coaching in career advancement is especially relevant in the current global climate. Students have the option to take a global perspectives or professional development course, led by our number one-ranked Graduate Career Services team, as well as receive tailored career coaching from a dedicated career coach.
While earning the Kelley Direct Online MBA, students can also choose to earn an additional Online MS in business analytics, entrepreneurship and innovation, finance, global supply chain management, marketing, or strategic management. This will require an additional 12 credits worth of coursework.
