IU Kelley School of

Business

Welcome to the Kelley School of Business!

Message from the Associate Dean, Kelley School of

Business

Thank you very much for your interest in the Kelley School

of Business. The school's history can be traced to the

early 1920's, when a select group of students and faculty

had the foresight to undertake a program of study that has

become known throughout the world as one of the finest

of its kind. From both the Indianapolis and Bloomington

campuses, the Kelley School of Business conducts

operations across the globe.

The joint resources of Indiana University-Purdue

University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and IU Bloomington allow

us to offer outstanding programs in business to a

significant percentage of Indiana's population.

IUPUI is Indiana University's capital-city campus. As

Indiana's state capital and a major metropolitan area,

Indianapolis is an ideal place to study business. Within city

blocks of the Kelley School is the highest concentration

of corporations, government offices and agencies, small

businesses, health care providers, professional practices,

and not-for-profit organizations in the state. The campus

affords a unique and dynamic environment for learning,

conducting research, teaching, and collaborating with

businesses. It is difficult to imagine a richer context in

which students of all ages can enhance their knowledge

and leadership skills while maximizing their personal

development.

All programs are offered in convenient, accessible

ways to both full and part-time students. High-tech

delivery systems, joint programs with other schools

at IUPUI, student organizations, and alumni activities

make the Kelley School of Business an exciting place

to be. Participation in the Kelley School involves more

than merely taking courses. We offer a comprehensive

educational experience that prepares you to join the

growing number of IU graduates providing leadership in

business organizations around the world.

Policies and Procedures

Undergraduate Policies

Academic Regulations and Scholastic Standards

Under the General Scholarship Rule, any student who

does not possess the necessary preliminary training or

who lacks other qualifications may be required by the

Kelley Office of Academic and Professional Development

to enroll in courses as the committee may designate or to

take other corrective action as is necessary or desirable.

The committee may review a student's record at any time

and may take whatever action seems necessary for the

student's best interest or for the best interest of the school.

Upon the recommendation of the appropriate school

committee and with the approval of the dean of the

Kelley School of Business, any student whose work is

unsatisfactory or whose conduct is unethical may be

dismissed from the Kelley School of Business.

Academic Misconduct

Indiana University and the Kelley School of Business

expect that students will follow the fundamental principles

of academic integrity in the pursuit of learning. Academic

integrity requires that students take credit only for their

own work and ideas. Violation of these principles is

considered an act of academic misconduct.

The Kelley School of Business strictly follows the

guidelines listed in the Code of Student Rights,

Responsibilities, and Conduct and the Kelley School of

Business Honor Code. In addition, the school's policy

regarding the appropriate penalty for any degree of

academic misconduct permits the removal of the student

from the course involved, with a grade of F.

Academic Standing

Those students who consistently maintain a minimum

grade point average of 2.0 (C) or higher in their cumulative

records are considered to be in good standing.

Auditing Courses

Students are not permitted to audit undergraduate

business courses or M.B.A. courses. See the Master of

Science in Accounting program chair for the current policy

regarding audit of M.S.A. classes.

Columbus Students Transferring to IUPUI

Students who matriculate to Indiana University-Purdue

University Columbus (IUPUC) and who wish to earn

a Kelley School of Business Bachelor of Science in

the Business degree must meet senior residency

requirements and complete the last 30 credit hours and

half of the major courses on the IUPUI campus. Students

cannot take any of the final course work in Columbus

to receive the Kelley School of Business degree.

The eight-year statute of limitations (see "Graduation

Requirements") mandates that students complete their

degree requirements within eight years in order to earn a

Kelley degree. IUPUC students who wish to earn a Kelley

degree must apply for admission to the Kelley School of

Business in Indianapolis by the stated deadlines and meet

all Indianapolis program requirements. Students must also

apply to graduate from the Kelley School of Business in

Indianapolis.

Integrative Core Prerequisites

The prerequisites for the Integrative Core are strictly

enforced: a total of 60 credit hours or more of college-level

work; the following courses with a grade of C or higher:

• BUS-K 201

• K201 or any equivalent course is only good

for five years before a student is admitted to

Kelley

• BUS-K 303

• BUS-X 100

• BUS-X 103 (may be substituted)

• BUS-X 204

• COMM-R 110

Option 1 admission or Direct Admission to the Kelley

School of Business in Indianapolis does not guarantee

admission into the Integrative Core.

Maximum Semester Credit-Hour Load

A typical academic load for full-time students is 15 credit

hours. A student expecting to carry more than 18 credit

hours during a regular semester or more than 9 credit

hours in a summer session should have a minimum

cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (B) or have

earned a 3.0 (B) grade point average in the previous

full semester. Note: Summer is not considered for this

purpose.

Military-Related Credit

Both Army and Air Force ROTC programs are available

at Indianapolis. Completion of either program leads to

a commission as a second lieutenant. Programs are

available to both men and women. Courses are pursued

in conjunction with an academic curriculum and receive

academic credit as electives.

Placement credit is available to veterans and students

with high school ROTC backgrounds. Veterans of military

service are also eligible for academic credit as a result

of their military training and experience. The Kelley

School of Business follows the provisions of the "Guide

to the Evaluation of Education Experiences in the Armed

Services" issued by the American Council on Education

(ACE) in granting credit. Credit in business subjects is

evaluated as "undistributed" and is subject to oral or

written examination for specific equivalency. Credit hours

may be limited by university policy.

Physical Education Courses

Students may elect a maximum of 4 credits of elective

physical education courses (HPER-E courses). Physical

education courses carry regular credit, count toward

minimum degree requirements, and are included in the

cumulative grade point average.

Probation, Dismissal, and Readmission

Probation

1. Students whose Indiana University cumulative grade

point average (GPA) falls below a

2.0 will be placed on probation. Students will be informed

of the probationary status by

letter.

2. Students may be continued on probation when the

semester GPA is at least a 2.0 but the

Indiana University's cumulative GPA is below 2.0.

3. Students will be removed from probationary status once

the Indiana University

cumulative GPA is at least 2.0.

Dismissal

1. Students on probation at IUPUI will be dismissed if they

fail to attain a semester GPA of

at least 2.0 in any two consecutive semesters (fall and

spring) and the Indiana University

cumulative GPA is below 2.0.

2. Students who are dismissed for the first time cannot

enroll until one regular (fall or spring)

the semester has elapsed since dismissal and must

petition by the established deadlines to be

reinstated.

3. Students dismissed two or more times must remain out

of school for the next two

consecutive regular (fall and spring)semesters and petition

by the established deadlines to

be reinstated.

Reinstatement

1. Reinstatement will be the decision of the academic unit

to which the students are

petitioning.

2. Students who are reinstated will be classified as

probationary students until Indiana

University cumulative GPA is at least 2.0. During the first

regularly enrolled term on

probation, the student must achieve a semester GPA of at

least 2.3. In each subsequent

semester on probation, the student must achieve a

semester GPA of at least 2.0. Failure to

meet the semester GPA requirement while on probation

will result in dismissal

Upper-Level Business Courses

Kelley School of Business students must have senior

standing and have completed the Integrative Core to enroll

in 400-level business courses. Enrollment in business

courses numbered 301-499 is limited to the following:

1. Kelley School of Business students.

2. Non-business students who are registered for the minor

in business.

3. Non-business students who are registered for degree

programs requiring specific business courses. Such

programs include engineering, health administration,

journalism, and telecommunications. (Enrollment will be

permitted only in the required business courses using this

priority category.)

4. Other students with specific permission of the

department offering the course. Departments may choose

to declare certain courses "open enrollment" courses.

5. Graduate continuing non-degree students may take

upper-level business courses with permission.

Unless students are registered in an official program,

as identified in items (2) and (3) above, a maximum of

12 credit hours of upper-level business courses may be

taken. In addition, for students enrolled in these specific

programs, upper-level business courses may comprise no

more than 25 percent of their programs.

To enroll in an upper-level business course (301 or

higher), a non-business student must meet course

prerequisites and have a minimum cumulative grade point

average of 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale).

Credit Earned Externally or Transferred to IU

CLEP and DANTES Credit

The Kelley School of Business does not accept CLEP or

DANTES credit for business courses; however, the school

will accept CLEP or DANTES credit awarded by other

IUPUI academic units for non-business courses.

Credit for Independent Study by Correspondence

The Kelley School of Business accepts a maximum of

two courses (6 credit hours) taken by correspondence

to satisfy degree requirements. However, because

of their basic importance in the degree program, the

September 2, 2022 5

following courses or their equivalents may not be taken

by correspondence to satisfy admission or degree

requirements:

• Business or economics courses;

• Prerequisites (for both business and non-business

courses);

• Courses required for a major (for both business and

non-business courses).

Any exceptions to the above policy must have the written

approval of the director of undergraduate programs,

Indianapolis. Note: Correspondence courses cannot be

taken during the last 30 credit hours of study without

petitioning for a waiver of senior residency.

Credit for Self-Acquired Competency

The Kelley School of Business does not award credit

on the basis of self-acquired competency (for example,

work experience). However, the school will give waiver

examinations for specific courses when the chair of

the department offering the course feels a student's

experience gives that student a reasonable chance of

passing the examination. To be eligible to take a waiver

examination, the student must be regularly registered at

IUPUI.

The school will not accept the transfer of credit from other

institutions for business courses if the credit was awarded

on the basis of self-acquired competency.

For non-business courses, the school will accept course-

specific credit awarded on the basis of self-acquired

competency by other baccalaureate-granting divisions/

schools of Indiana University and by other institutions

accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges or

comparable regional associations.

The school will not accept general (non-course-specific)

self-acquired competency credit awarded by other

divisions or schools of Indiana University or by other

institutions.

Retaking a Kelley Course

A student can only take a Kelley course three times for

a grade unless the student submits a petition to take the

course more than three times.

Transfer of Credit

1. Transfer of Credit from Other Colleges and

Universities

Acceptance of credit from other institutions, including

Purdue University, will be determined by the IUPUI Office

of Admissions. The applicability of credit toward degree

requirements in the Kelley School of Business will be

determined by the school. Credits in business courses at

the lower-division level (100- and 200-level courses) that

are accepted for transfer are usually accepted for specific

course equivalency.

Courses in upper-division business subjects (300-

and 400-level courses) may be accepted for specific

equivalency if the course work is taken in the junior or

senior year at a four-year institution that is accredited

by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of

Business (AACSB). If the institution is not so accredited,

credit in upper-division courses accepted for transfer will

be accepted as "undistributed" credit, subject to further

examination for equivalency.

Upper-division business courses taken in the freshman or

sophomore year at four-year institutions may be accepted

as "undistributed" credit, subject to further examinations

for specific equivalency.

Upper-division business courses taken at two-year

institutions may be accepted as "undistributed" credit that

will count only as business electives. No more than 90

credit hours may be accepted for transfer from a four-

year institution. Course grades from other institutions are

not transferred; only credit hours earned in a course are

recorded. Evaluation of credit is completed after a student

is admitted to the university.

2. Transfer of Credit from Junior and Community

Colleges

No more than 64 credit hours earned at junior or

community colleges may be applied to an Indiana

University Kelley School of Business degree.

3. Transfer of Credit from Other Indiana University

Campuses

Four-year degree programs in certain major areas may be

completed at Indiana University East, Indiana University-

Purdue University Fort Wayne, Indiana University

Kokomo, Indiana University Northwest, Indiana University

South Bend, Indiana University Southeast, and Indiana

University-Purdue University Columbus, as well as at the

Bloomington and Indianapolis campuses. Admission and

degree requirements will vary among campuses.

Students wishing to transfer to the Kelley School of

Business in Indianapolis are required to meet the same

admission requirements to the school as do all other

students, both internal and external, at the Indianapolis

campus. Students who expect to graduate from the IU

Kelley School of Business in Indianapolis must complete

the last 30 credit hours of the degree program and one-

half of their major requirements at the Indianapolis

campus and complete an application to the school.

Kelley Indianapolis students must take Integrative Core (I-

CORE) on the Indianapolis campus. I-CORE credit from

another campus will not be accepted.

Grading System

Incomplete Courses

A temporary grade of Incomplete (I) on the transcript

indicates that the work completed is satisfactory but that

the entire course has not been completed. A grade of I

may be assigned only if the student is not in attendance

during the last 25 percent of a semester or summer

session and the instructor has reason to believe that the

absence was beyond the student's control. Otherwise, the

instructor shall assign a grade of F.

It is the instructor's responsibility to specify the work

to be done to remove the Incomplete as well as the

period of time allowed for completion. However, it is

the student's responsibility to contact the instructor to

verify that all requirements have been completed. If the

Incomplete is not removed within one calendar year of

the date of the recording of the Incomplete grade, the

registrar will automatically change the I to an F grade.

6 September 2, 2022

The instructor may, however, require the Incomplete to

be removed after a period that is less than one year.

Upon satisfactory completion of the work within the time

allowed, the Incomplete will be removed and the earned

grade recorded. In special circumstances, the dean may

authorize that a grade of I be changed to a grade of W

(Withdraw).

Students do not reenroll in a course in which they have a

grade of I.

Pass/Fail Option

Business students may elect to take 3 credit hours each

semester with a grade of P (Pass) or F (Fail), with a

maximum of 6 credit hours each school year, including

summer sessions. The election of this option must be

exercised by the student within the first three weeks

of the semester or equivalent time period in a summer

session. Limitations on use of the Pass/Fail option are

as follows: Kelley School of Business students may not

take any business course Pass/Fail; and the Pass/Fail

option cannot be used for courses that satisfy the general

education requirement or any course that would fulfill

a major requirement. In short, the option can be used

only for courses that are pure electives taken outside the

Kelley School of Business. A grade of P is not counted in

the cumulative grade point average, but a grade of F is

included. A grade of P cannot be changed subsequently to

a grade of A, B, C, or D.

Withdrawals

A grade of W (Withdraw) is given automatically on the

date of withdrawal to a student who withdraws during the

first seven weeks of a regular semester or during the first

three weeks of a summer session.

(https://studentcentral.iupui.edu/register/drop-add/late-

drop-add.html) After the automatic withdrawal period, a

student may withdraw only with the permission of his or

her dean. This approval is given only for urgent reasons

relating to extended illness or equivalent distress. To

qualify for the grade of W, a student must be passing

the course on the date of withdrawal. If the student is

failing, the grade recorded on the date of withdrawal will

be F. Poor performance in a course is not considered

grounds for a late withdrawal. No withdrawal forms

will be processed in the Office of the Registrar after

the last day of classes for the term/session. Any

requests for late withdrawal after the last day of

classes must go through the grade appeal process.”

Extenuating circumstances can include:

• medical condition/ hospital stay/ accident

• incarceration

• psychological/emotional issues

• learning disability (newly diagnosed)

• death of family or close friend

• issues with a class/faculty (well documented)

• eviction/ homelessness

• other major life events that severely impacts the

student

The student is advised to continue attending the class(es)

as the withdrawal request may not be approved. The

student must consider that a withdrawal from a course

may impact other aspects of their student status (i.e.,

financial aid, enrollment requirements for international

students or student-athletes, expected graduation term,

etc.). It is the responsibility of the student to contact the

appropriate office on campus regarding any other issues

that may arise as the result of a late withdrawal from a

course.

Grade Appeals

If a student feels their grade should be changed (either

from an F to a W or if they feel the grade they received

should be higher than what was given), they should first

contact the professor of that course and discuss the grade

change with him or her. If the faculty member will not

change the grade, the student can fill out a change of

grade petition which can be accessed online at https://

studentcentral.iupui.edu/doc/grades-progress/change-

grade-petition.pdf. Please note that the Kelley School

of Business requires that requests to change a grade

from an F to a W must be submitted and processed

within one year from when the course is completed.

All grade change petitions should be submitted to the

Office of the Registrar (Campus Center (CE) Room 250).

Once the Kelley School of Business receives the petition

for any business courses, a copy will be sent to the

faculty member who taught the course along with a memo

from the Undergraduate Program Office asking for any

information concerning the student (grades in the course,

attendance, etc.). Once the faculty returns this information

to the Undergraduate Program Office, the petitions

committee will review the petition and make a decision.

If the petition is approved, a change of grade form will

be sent to the Office of the Registrar where it will take

1-2 weeks to process the grade change. If the petition is

denied, a letter will be sent to the student explaining why

the petition was denied.

If the petition is denied and the student wishes to pursue

the matter further, the student should speak with the

Kelley Ombudsman for help on how to proceed.

Graduation Requirements

Though the school makes every attempt to provide

students with ample advising and counseling help,

students in the Kelley School of Business are

responsible for planning their own programs and

for meeting degree requirements. It is the student's

responsibility to understand fully and comply with all the

provisions of this bulletin. Requests for deviation from

department, program, or school requirements may be

petitioned in writing through the Kelley Office of Academic

and Professional Development in BS 2010. Such petitions

will be reviewed by the Petitions Committee and granted

only in consultation with the respective chair, director, or

dean, or their respective administrative representatives.

Credit Deadline

All course work except work from the current semester

must be completed and recorded on the degree

candidate's Indiana University transcript at least one

month prior to the date of graduation.

Credit Hours and GPA Requirements

Policies and Procedures

Undergraduate Policies

Academic Regulations and Scholastic Standards

Under the General Scholarship Rule, any student who

does not possess the necessary preliminary training or

who lacks other qualifications may be required by the

Kelley Office of Academic and Professional Development

to enroll in courses as the committee may designate or to

take other corrective action as is necessary or desirable.

The committee may review a student's record at any time

and may take whatever action seems necessary for the

student's best interest or for the best interest of the school.

Upon the recommendation of the appropriate school

committee and with the approval of the dean of the

Kelley School of Business, any student whose work is

unsatisfactory or whose conduct is unethical may be

dismissed from the Kelley School of Business.

Academic Misconduct

Indiana University and the Kelley School of Business

expect that students will follow the fundamental principles

of academic integrity in the pursuit of learning. Academic

integrity requires that students take credit only for their

own work and ideas. Violation of these principles is

considered an act of academic misconduct.

The Kelley School of Business strictly follows the

guidelines listed in the Code of Student Rights,

Responsibilities, and Conduct and the Kelley School of

Business Honor Code. In addition, the school's policy

regarding the appropriate penalty for any degree of

academic misconduct permits the removal of the student

from the course involved, with a grade of F.

Academic Standing

Those students who consistently maintain a minimum

grade point average of 2.0 (C) or higher in their cumulative

records are considered to be in good standing.

Auditing Courses

Students are not permitted to audit undergraduate

business courses or M.B.A. courses. See the Master of

Science in Accounting program chair for the current policy

regarding audit of M.S.A. classes.

Columbus Students Transferring to IUPUI

Students who matriculate to Indiana University-Purdue

University Columbus (IUPUC) and who wish to earn

a Kelley School of Business Bachelor of Science

in Business degree must meet senior residency

requirements, complete all 300 and 400 level coursework,

and complete the last 30 credit hours and of the major

courses on the IUPUI campus. Students cannot take any

final coursework in Columbus to receive the Kelley School

of Business degree. The eight-year statute of limitations

(see "Graduation Requirements") mandates that students

complete their degree requirements within eight years in

order to earn a Kelley degree. IUPUC students who wish

to earn a Kelley degree must apply for admission to the

Kelley School of Business in Indianapolis by the stated

deadlines and meet all Indianapolisprogram requirements.

Students must also apply to graduate from the Kelley

School of Business in Indianapolis.

Integrative Core Prerequisites

The prerequisites for the Integrative Core are strictly

enforced: a total of 60 credit hours or more of college-level

work; the following courses with a grade of C or higher:

• BUS-K 201

• K201 or any equivalent course is only good

for five years before a student is admitted to

Kelley

• BUS-X 100

• First-Year Seminar (transfer students see your

advisor)

8 September 2, 2022

• BUS-X 204

• COMM-R 110

• ENG-W 131

• BUS-X 220

• BUS-J 211

• BUS-L 203

• BUS-A 100

• BUS-A 201

• BUS-A 202

• BUS-K 303

• ECON-E 201

• ECON-E 202

• ECON-E 270

• MATH-M 118

• MATH-M 119

Option 1 admission or Direct Admission to the Kelley

School of Business in Indianapolis does not guarantee

admission into the Integrative Core.

Maximum Semester Credit-Hour Load

A typical academic load for full-time students is 15 credit

hours. A student expecting to carry more than 18 credit

hours during a regular semester or more than 9 credit

hours in a summer session should have a minimum

cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (B) or have

earned a 3.0 (B) grade point average in the previous

full semester. Note: Summer is not considered for this

purpose.

Military-Related Credit

Both Army and Air Force ROTC programs are available

at Indianapolis. Completion of either program leads to

a commission as a second lieutenant. Programs are

available to both men and women. Courses are pursued

in conjunction with an academic curriculum and receive

academic credit as electives.

Placement credit is available to veterans and students

with high school ROTC backgrounds. Veterans of military

service are also eligible for academic credit as a result

of their military training and experience. The Kelley

School of Business follows the provisions of the "Guide

to the Evaluation of Education Experiences in the Armed

Services" issued by the American Council on Education

(ACE) in granting credit. Credit in business subjects is

evaluated as "undistributed" and is subject to oral or

written examination for specific equivalency. Credit hours

may be limited by university policy.

Physical Education Courses

Students may elect a maximum of 4 credits of elective

physical education courses (HPER-E courses). Physical

education courses carry regular credit, count toward

minimum degree requirements, and are included in the

cumulative grade point average.

Probation, Dismissal, and Readmission

Probation

1. Students whose Program cumulative grade point

average (GPA) falls below a

2.0 will be placed on probation. Students will be informed

of their probationary status by

letter.

2. Students may be continued on probation when the

semester GPA is at least a 2.0 but the

Program cumulative GPA is below 2.0.

3. Students will be removed from probationary status once

the Program

cumulative GPA is at least 2.0.

Dismissal

1. Students on probation at IUPUI will be dismissed if they

fail to attain a semester GPA of

at least 2.0 in any two consecutive semesters (fall and

spring) and the Program Cumulative GPA

is below 2.0.

2. Students who are dismissed for the first time cannot

enroll until one regular (fall or spring)

semester has elapsed since dismissal and must petition

by the established deadlines to be

reinstated.

3. Students dismissed two or more times must remain out

of school for the next two

consecutive regular (fall and spring)semesters and petition

by the established deadlines to

be reinstated.

Reinstatement

1. Reinstatement will be the decision of the academic unit

to which the students are

petitioning.

2. Students who are reinstated will be classified as

probationary students until Program cumulative GPA is at

least 2.0. During the first regularly enrolled term on

probation, the student must achieve a semester GPA of at

least 2.3. In each subsequent

semester on probation, the student must achieve a

semester GPA of at least 2.0. Failure to

meet the semester GPA requirement while on probation

will result in dismissal

Upper-Level Business Courses

Kelley School of Business students must have senior

standing and have completed the Integrative Core to

enroll in most 400-level business courses. Enrollment in

business courses numbered 301-499 is usually limited to

the following:

1. Kelley School of Business students.

2. Non-business students who are registered for the minor

in business.

3. Non-business students who are registered for degree

programs requiring specific business courses. Such

programs include engineering, health administration,

journalism, and telecommunications. (Enrollment will be

permitted only in the required business courses using this

priority category.)

4. Other students with specific permission of the

department offering the course. Departments may choose

to declare certain courses "open enrollment" courses.

5. Graduate continuing nondegree students may take

upper-level business courses with permission.

Unless students are registered in an official program,

as identified in items (2) and (3) above, a maximum of

12 credit hours of upper-level business courses may be

taken. In addition, for students enrolled in these specific

programs, upper-level business courses may comprise no

more than 25 percent of their programs.

To enroll in an upper-level business course (301 or

higher), a non-business student must meet course

prerequisites and have a minimum cumulative grade point

average of 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale).

Credit Earned Externally or Transferred to IU

CLEP and DANTES Credit

The Kelley School of Business does not accept CLEP or

DANTES credit for business courses; however, the school

will accept CLEP or DANTES credit awarded by other

IUPUI academic units for non-business courses.

Credit for Independent Study by Correspondence

The Kelley School of Business accepts a maximum of

two courses (6 credit hours) taken by correspondence

to satisfy degree requirements. However, because

of their basic importance in the degree program, the

following courses or their equivalents may not be taken

by correspondence to satisfy admission or degree

requirements:

• Business or economics courses;

• Prerequisites (for both business and non-business

courses);

• Courses required for a major (for both business and

non-business courses).

Any exceptions to the above policy must have the written

approval of the director of undergraduate programs,

Indianapolis. Note: Correspondence courses cannot be

taken during the last 30 credit hours of study without

petitioning for a waiver of senior residency.

Credit for Self-Acquired Competency

The Kelley School of Business does not award credit

on the basis of self-acquired competency (for example,

work experience). However, the school will give waiver

examinations for specific courses when the chair of

the department offering the course feels a student's

experience gives that student a reasonable chance of

passing the examination. To be eligible to take a waiver

examination, the student must be regularly registered at

IUPUI.

The school will not accept the transfer of credit from other

institutions for business courses if the credit was awarded

on the basis of self-acquired competency.

For non-business courses, the school will accept course-

specific credit awarded on the basis of self-acquired

competency by other baccalaureate-granting divisions/

schools of Indiana University and by other institutions

accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges or

comparable regional associations.

The school will not accept general (non-course-specific)

self-acquired competency credit awarded by other

divisions or schools of Indiana University or by other

institutions.

Retaking a Kelley Course

A student can only take a Kelley course three times for

a grade unless the student submits a petition to take the

course more than three times.

Transfer of Credit

1. Transfer of Credit from Other Colleges and

Universities

Acceptance of credit from other institutions, including

Purdue University, will be determined by the IUPUI Office

of Admissions. The applicability of credit toward degree

requirements in the Kelley School of Business will be

determined by the school. Credits in business courses at

the lower-division level (100- and 200-level courses) that

are accepted for transfer are usually accepted for specific

course equivalency.

Courses in upper-division business subjects (300-

and 400-level courses) may be accepted for specific

equivalency if the course work is taken in the junior or

senior year at a four-year institution that is accredited

by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of

Business (AACSB). If the institution is not so accredited,

credit in upper-division courses accepted for transfer will

be accepted as "undistributed" credit, subject to further

examination for equivalency.

Upper-division business courses taken in the freshman or

sophomore year at four-year institutions may be accepted

as "undistributed" credit, subject to further examinations

for specific equivalency.

Upper-division business courses taken at two-year

institutions may be accepted as "undistributed" credit that

will count only as business electives. No more than 90

credit hours may be accepted for transfer from a four-

year institution. Course grades from other institutions are

not transferred; only credit hours earned in a course are

recorded. Evaluation of credit is completed after a student

is admitted to the university.

2. Transfer of Credit from Junior and Community

Colleges

No more than 64 credit hours earned at junior or

community colleges may be applied to an Indiana

University Kelley School of Business degree.

3. Transfer of Credit from Other Indiana University

Campuses

Four-year degree programs in certain major areas may be

completed at Indiana University East, Indiana University-

Purdue University Fort Wayne, Indiana University

Kokomo, Indiana University Northwest, Indiana University

South Bend, Indiana University Southeast, and Indiana

University-Purdue University Columbus, as well as at the

Bloomington and Indianapolis campuses. Admission and

degree requirements will vary among campuses.

Students wishing to transfer to the Kelley School of

Business in Indianapolis are required to meet the same

admission requirements to the school as do all other

students, both internal and external, at the Indianapolis

campus. Students who expect to graduate from the IU

Kelley School of Business in Indianapolis must complete

all 300/400 level BUS courses at the Indianapolis campus

and complete an application to the school.

Kelley Indianapolis students must take Integrative Core (I-

CORE) on the Indianapolis campus. I-CORE credit from

another campus will not be accepted.

Grading System

Incomplete Courses

A temporary grade of Incomplete (I) on the transcript

indicates that the work completed is satisfactory but that

the entire course has not been completed. A grade of I

may be assigned only if the student is not in attendance

during the last 25 percent of a semester or summer

session and the instructor has reason to believe that the

10 September 2, 2022

absence was beyond the student's control. Otherwise, the

instructor shall assign a grade of F.

It is the instructor's responsibility to specify the work

to be done to remove the Incomplete as well as the

period of time allowed for completion. However, it is

the student's responsibility to contact the instructor to

verify that all requirements have been completed. If the

Incomplete is not removed within one calendar year of

the date of the recording of the Incomplete grade, the

registrar will automatically change the I to an F grade.

The instructor may, however, require the Incomplete to

be removed after a period that is less than one year.

Upon satisfactory completion of the work within the time

allowed, the Incomplete will be removed and the earned

grade recorded. In special circumstances, the dean may

authorize that a grade of I be changed to a grade of W

(Withdraw).

Students do not re-enroll in a course in which they have a

grade of I.

Pass/Fail Option

Business students may elect to take 3 credit hours each

semester with a grade of P (Pass) or F (Fail), with a

maximum of 6 credit hours each school year, including

summer sessions. The election of this option must be

exercised by the student within the first three weeks

of the semester or equivalent time period in a summer

session. Limitations on use of the Pass/Fail option are

as follows: Kelley School of Business students may

not take any business course Pass/Fail; the Pass/Fail

option cannot be used for courses that satisfy the general

education requirement or any course that would fulfill

a major requirement. In short, the option can be used

only for courses that are pure electives taken outside the

Kelley School of Business. A grade of P is not counted in

the cumulative grade point average, but a grade of F is

included. A grade of P cannot be changed subsequently to

a grade of A, B, C, or D.

Withdrawals

A grade of W (Withdraw) is given automatically on the

date of withdrawal to a student who withdraws during the

first seven weeks of a regular semester or during the first

three weeks of a summer session.

(https://studentcentral.iupui.edu/register/drop-add/late-

drop-add.html) After the automatic withdrawal period, a

student may withdraw only with the permission of his or

her dean. This approval is given only for urgent reasons

relating to extended illness or equivalent distress. To

qualify for the grade of W, a student must be passing

the course on the date of withdrawal. If the student is

failing, the grade recorded on the date of withdrawal will

be F. Poor performance in a course is not considered

grounds for a late withdrawal. No withdrawal forms

will be processed in the Office of the Registrar after

the last day of classes for the term/session. Any

requests for late withdrawal after the last day of

classes must go through the grade appeal process.”

Extenuating circumstances can include:

• medical condition/ hospital stay/ accident

• incarceration

• psychological/emotional issues

• learning disability (newly diagnosed)

• death of family or close friend

• issues with a class/faculty (well documented)

• eviction/ homelessness

• other major life events that severely impact the

student

The student is advised to continue attending the class(es)

as the withdrawal request may not be approved. The

student must consider that a withdrawal from a course

may impact other aspects of their student status (i.e.,

financial aid, enrollment requirements for international

students or student-athletes, expected graduation term,

etc.). It is the responsibility of the student to contact the

appropriate office on campus regarding any other issues

that may arise as the result of a late withdrawal from a

course.

Grade Appeals

If a student feels their grade should be changed (either

from an F to a W or if they feel the grade they received

should be higher than what was given), they should first

contact the professor of that course and discuss the grade

change with him or her. If the faculty member will not

change the grade, the student can fill out a change of

grade petition which can be accessed online at https://

studentcentral.iupui.edu/doc/grades-progress/change-

grade-petition.pdf. Please note that the Kelley School

of Business requires that requests to change a grade

from an F to a W must be submitted and processed

within one year from when the course is completed.

All grade change petitions should be submitted to the

Office of the Registrar (Campus Center (CE) Room 250).

Once the Kelley School of Business receives the petition

for any business courses, a copy will be sent to the

faculty member who taught the course along with a memo

from the Undergraduate Program Office asking for any

information concerning the student (grades in the course,

attendance, etc.). Once the faculty returns this information

to the Undergraduate Program Office, the petitions

committee will review the petition and make a decision.

If the petition is approved, a change of grade form will

be sent to the Office of the Registrar where it will take

1-2 weeks to process the grade change. If the petition is

denied, a letter will be sent to the student explaining why

the petition was denied.

If the petition is denied and the student wishes to pursue

the matter further, the student should speak with the

Kelley Ombudsman for help on how to proceed.

Graduation Requirements

Though the school makes every attempt to provide

students with ample advising and counseling help,

students in the Kelley School of Business are

responsible for planning their own programs and

for meeting degree requirements. It is the student's

responsibility to understand fully and comply with all the

provisions of this bulletin. Requests for deviation from

department, program, or school requirements may be

petitioned in writing through the Kelley Office of Academic

and Professional Development in BS 2010. Such petitions

will be reviewed by the Petitions Committee and granted

September 2, 2022 11

only in consultation with the respective chair, director, or

dean, or their respective administrative representatives.

Indianapolis will be conferred a "Master of Business

12 September 2, 2022

Administration" degree from the Indiana University Kelley

School of Business.

Although students are not required to major (General

Management MBA), students may choose a major in

Finance, Management/Entrepreneurship, Operations and

Supply Chain Management or Marketing major. They

may make a broad selection of elective course work or

may focus all of their elective course work in one area.

Grading Systems and Standards

The official grading system of the Graduate School of

B- or C+ 0-20%

Poor Performance C through D- As Needed

Failure F As Needed

Incomplete I As Needed

The following policies apply:

• Only courses with grades of "C-" or better will count

toward the necessary hours for graduation, although

ALL grades (except ineligible course work and

transfer credit) are used in computing the

• If a "D+"/ "D"/"D-" is earned, the hours will NOT

count toward graduation, but the grade will be used

in calculating the The course cannot be repeated;

additional course work to replace the hours and

review work will be recommended.

• If an “F” is received in a CORE course, the course

MUST be repeated with a passing grade. If an “F” is

received in an elective course, it may not be In both

cases, the hours will NOT count toward the 51 hour

requirement for graduation but the grade will be used

in calculating the GPA.

Residency Requirement

Of the 51 hours required to complete the MBA degree,

at least 45 hours of graduate credit must be obtained

in-residence. The residency requirement is met while

a student is officially admitted and enrolled as an MBA

student in the Graduate School of Business at Indiana

University, Bloomington/Indianapolis. Credit hours earned

while enrolled in another degree-granting program cannot

be included in the 45 hours required in-residence.

Incomplete Grade Process

An "incomplete" indicates that the work is passing as of

the end of the semester but a relatively small part of the

course has not been completed. In order to give a grade

of "I", the faculty member must agree with a request for an

incomplete. The faculty member must file an "Incomplete

Form" which states the reason for the incomplete, the

requirements for completion, and when the course is

expected to be completed. An incomplete not removed

within one year of assignment automatically converts to an

"F."

• If the work required to remove the "incomplete" is

not finished before the beginning of the subsequent

module, enrollment in the subsequent module may

not be (See sequencing rules). This means, for

example, that if an "I" is assigned in one of the

courses in Module I, enrollment in Module II may not

be allowed until the requirements of the "incomplete"

are fulfilled. Approval to enroll in a subsequent

module with an "I" on the record must be obtained

from the Chairperson of Graduate Programs.

• If an "incomplete" ("I") is not removed within one

year from its assignment, an "F" is automatically

recorded for the

• A candidate cannot re-enroll in a course in which a

grade of "I" has been

• A candidate cannot be certified for graduation until

his record is cleared of all "Incompletes" in both

elective and required course

Withdrawal

There are times when the "W" is an appropriate

grade. The "W" indicates that the course has not been

successfully completed and therefore the student may

not progress to the next semester's course work. That is,

a "W" will put a student one module behind and require

that the student drop out of his or her cohort and join a

subsequent cohort group as space becomes available.

In most cases, because of sequencing requirements,

a withdrawal will result in inability to continue with the

current cohort group but does allow the flexibility to join a

subsequent group and successfully complete the program.

If it becomes necessary to withdraw from a required

course, it is necessary to withdraw from the entire module.

September 2, 2022 17

A grade of "W" is automatically assigned if withdrawal

occurs during the first eight (8) weeks of a regular length

semester or during the first four (4) weeks of an eight (8)

week session. After that time, it is necessary to petition

to withdraw. If the petition is granted, the student may

withdraw and a "W" will be assigned for the course.

During the last three (3) weeks of a fifteen (15) week

course or the last two (2) weeks of an eight (8) week

course, the petition for withdrawal from ALL course work

is generally granted; however, if the student is passing

at the time of the request, a "W" may be assigned. If the

student is failing at the time of withdrawal, an "F" must be

assigned.

2. Students may be continued on probation when the

semester GPA is at least a 2.0 but the

Indiana University cumulative GPA is below a 2.0.

3. Students will be removed from probationary status once

the Indiana University

cumulative GPA is at least 2.0.

Dismissal

1. Students on probation at IUPUI will be dismissed if they

fail to attain a semester GPA of

at least 2.0 in any two consecutive semesters (fall and

spring) and the Indiana University

cumulative GPA is below 2.0.

2. Students who are dismissed forthe first time cannot

enroll until one regular (fall orspring)

semester has elapsed since dismissal and must petition

by the established deadlines to be

reinstated.

3. Students dismissed two or more times must remain out

of school for the next two

consecutive regular (fall and spring)semesters and petition

by the established deadlines to

be reinstated.

Reinstatement

1. Reinstatement will be the decision of the academic unit

probation, the student must achieve a semester GPA of at

least 2.3. In each subsequent

semester on probation, the student must achieve a

semester GPA of at least 2.0. Failure to

meet the semester GPA requirement while on probation

will result in dismissal

Incomplete Courses

A temporary grade of Incomplete (I) on the transcript

indicates that the work completed is satisfactory but that

the entire course has not been completed. A grade of I

may be assigned only if the student is not in attendance

during the last 25 percent of a semester or summer

session and the instructor has reason to believe that the

absence was beyond the student's control. Otherwise, the

instructor shall assign a grade of F.

It is the instructor's responsibility to specify the work

to be done to remove the Incomplete as well as the

period of time allowed for completion. However, it is

the student's responsibility to contact the instructor to

verify that all requirements have been completed. If the

Incomplete is not removed within one calendar year of

the date of the recording of the Incomplete grade, the

registrar will automatically change the I to an F grade.

The instructor may, however, require the Incomplete to

be removed after a period that is less than one year.

Upon satisfactory completion of the work within the time

allowed, the Incomplete will be removed and the earned

grade recorded. In special circumstances, the dean may

authorize that a grade of I be changed to a grade of W

(Withdraw).

Students do not reenroll in a course in which they have a

grade of I.

Withdrawals

A grade of W (Withdraw) is given automatically on the

date of withdrawal to a student who withdraws during the

first seven weeks of a regular semester or during the first

three weeks of a summer session.

(https://studentcentral.iupui.edu/register/drop-add/late-

drop-add.html) After the automatic withdrawal period a

student may withdraw only with the permission of his or

her dean. This approval is given only for urgent reasons

relating to extended illness or equivalent distress. To

qualify for the grade of W, a student must be passing

the course on the date of withdrawal. If the student is

failing, the grade recorded on the date of withdrawal will

be F. Poor performance in a course is not considered

grounds for a late withdrawal. No withdrawal forms

will be processed in the Office of the Registrar after

the last day of classes for the term/session. Any

requests for a late withdrawal after the last day of

classes must go through the grade appeal process.”

Extenuating circumstances can include:

• medical condition/ hospital stay/ accident

• incarceration

• psychological/emotional issues

• learning disability (newly diagnosed)

• death of family or close friend

• issues with a class/faculty (well documented)

• eviction/ homelessness

• other major life event that severely impacts the

student

The student is advised to continue attending the class(es)

as the withdrawal request may not be approved. The

student must consider that a withdrawal from a course

may impact other aspects of their student status (i.e.,

financial aid, enrollment requirements for international

students or student athletes, expected graduation term,

etc.). It is the responsibility of the student to contact the

appropriate office on campus regarding any other issues

that may arise as the result of a late withdrawal from a

course.

Department of Accounting and

Information Systems

Department of Accounting and Information Systems

Accounting Major

The accounting curriculum prepares students for careers

in auditing, corporate accounting and management

consulting, governmental and nonprofit organizations, and

taxation. In addition, it equips the prospective business

executive with tools for intelligent analysis, planning,

control, and decision making. The accounting curriculum

also provides excellent background for the student

who wants to pursue graduate work in business, public

administration, or law.

Beginning in the fall of 2013, the general-education

requirement for accounting majors was reduced to

43 credit hours. This limit applies only to accounting

majors. Nine additional credit hours are required for the

nonaccounting concentration.

Accounting graduates who meet the requirements of

the State Board of Public Accountancy of Indiana are

eligible to sit for the Uniform CPA Examination in Indiana.

Most accounting graduates will need to engage in further

study to be eligible to sit for the exam. Those who wish to

engage in public accounting practice in Indiana as certified

public accountants should familiarize themselves with the

rules and regulations issued by the Indiana State Board

of Accountancy, Indiana Professional Licensing Agency,

302 W. Washington Street, Rm. E034, Indianapolis, IN

46204-2724; phone (317) 232-2980. Students planning

practice outside Indiana should consult the CPA board

in their state of residence. Call 1-800-CPA-EXAM for

additional information.

Internships in business or government are available on

a selective basis during the fall, spring, or summer. Fall

is the ideal time to apply for an accounting internship,

as the majority of public accounting internships are

spring-semester positions. For further information about

internships, contact the Kelley Career Placement Office,

Business/SPEA Building 2010; phone (317) 278-7842.

Major Requirements

Junior and Senior Years:

• BUS-A 311, BUS-A 312, BUS-A 325, BUS-A 328,

BUS-A 302 BUS-A 337, BUS-A 424.

• Two accounting electives from the following: BUS-

A 375, BUS-A 335, BUS-A 339, BUS-A 380, BUS-A

422, BUS-A 439, BUS-A 460, BUS-A 490.

• Nonaccounting concentration (9 cr.): Students

must use these hours to build a three-course

sequence that comprises a concentration. The

concentration creates an expertise that is typically in

a nonaccounting business area (e.g., international

business or finance). However, a concentration

that includes non-business courses (e.g., courses

in criminal justice) may be acceptable. This

concentration might be obtained in a number

of ways. For example, students might construct

a three-course sequence in a particular area

such as finance, supply chain management, or

something similar. Information about preapproved

concentrations may be obtained from the Kelley

School of Business advisors. Students also are

encouraged to use this flexibility to double major in a

business area or to earn an outside minor.

• One minor that is available to accounting

students in the Criminal Justice Accounting

minor offered through the O'Neill School of

Public and Environmental Affairs. Three of

the courses for the minor will be used for the

non-accounting concentration. Then students

take only two more classes to complete the

Criminal Justice Accounting minor. There is

a PDF checksheet that will list all the courses

required for the minor.

CPA Exam Preparation

Two accounting electives are required for the accounting

degree. However, the accounting faculty strongly

recommends that students who are interested in

professional accounting careers and becoming a Certified

Public Accountant (CPA) should take the following three

elective courses:

• BUS-A 422 (Advanced Financial Accounting)

• BUS-A 339 (Advanced Income Taxation)

• BUS-A 335 (Accounting for Government and Not-

For-Profit Entities)

Additionally, the following course would be helpful in

preparing for the CPA Exam.

• BUS-A 439 (Advanced Auditing)

• BUS-A 460 (Information Systems Security

Assurance)

Internal Auditing Focus

Students who do not choose to pursue a career as a

CPA, but who want to pursue a career in internal auditing,

should select the following two electives.

• BUS-A 375 (Internal Auditing - Enterprise Risk

Management and Controls)

• BUS-A 460 (Information Systems Security

Assurance)

Note: Most states (including Indiana) require accounting

professionals who wish to be licensed as certified public

accountants to complete 150 credit hours of education

with an accounting major. Students must choose among

three alternatives. Students who plan to forego CPA

licensure may begin their careers after four years with a

bachelor's degree. Students interested in licensure may

either apply to the Master of Professional Accountancy

program and continue for a fifth year to earn a master's

degree (fulfilling the 150-hour requirement) or enter the

workforce after four years (with the bachelor's degree)

20 September 2, 2022

and continue to work toward the master's as part-time or

returning students.

The Department of Accounting has created a Master of

Professional Accountancy Program for students wishing to

pursue licensure.

Updated 04/2022

Department of Finance

The finance undergraduate curriculum provides a high

degree of flexibility while offering the basic preparation

needed to deal with the complexities of the modern

financial environment.

All students in the major must take a common core of

three courses: BUS-A 310, BUS-F 303, and BUS-F 305.

These three courses provide a basic grounding in financial

accounting systems, the capital and money markets, and

corporate financial decision making. An understanding of

these areas is necessary for someone who is planning a

career in finance.

Finance Major

The undergraduate curriculum in this major is designed to

provide familiarity with the instruments and institutions of

finance and with a financial approach for structuring and

analyzing management decisions.

Course offerings are designed to integrate various aspects

of the environment—such as the state of the economy,

taxes, and legal considerations—into the decision-making

process.

Study in finance, along with appropriate electives,

provides academic preparation for careers in corporate

financial management; commercial banking, savings and

credit institutions; investment analysis; and the selling of

financial instruments and services.

Candidates are encouraged to select electives in

accordance with career objectives.

Real Estate Co-Major

Real estate intersects with most areas of business.

You may decide to work for a real estate development

company or investor or in one of the many business roles

in real estate, such as brokerage, appraising, property

management, debt placement, private equity, property tax

or corporate real estate.

Whether you’re an accountant for a property management

group or a supply chain professional influencing the

design of real estate, this co-major can add value to

your future career prospects. There are many real estate

companies located in Indiana, and they are seeking

graduates with real estate credentials who are committed

to living and working here. By pairing the real estate

co-major with your business degree, you gain several

advantages in the job market, including:

• An ability to analyze the physical, legal, locational

and financial aspects of real estate and their impact

on value and marketability.

• Experience with highest and best use development

analysis, valuation analysis and investment analysis

for real estate.

• A portfolio of real-life, case-based presentations from

the Commercial Real Estate Workshop.

• Connections and interactions with real estate

professionals.

Additional educational activities are provided by

the Center for Real Estate Studies. Real estate is only

Department of Management

The Department of Management encompasses the

areas of management, human resource management,

organizational behavior, business policy, management

of nonprofit organizations, entrepreneurship, and

international business. The curriculum is designed to offer

students either a broad-based background preparing

them for entrance into managerial positions or specialized

training in an area of concentration.

At the undergraduate level, the department offers a

major in management, nonprofit management, or human

resource management, as well as the option to pursue a

second major in international studies.

Management Major

Society recognizes the importance of understanding

both management itself, and the complex nature of the

organizations (in business, government, hospitals, and

universities) in which managers operate. The faculty is

devoted to improving this understanding through the study

of individual and group behavior, organizational theory,

and human resource development.

The undergraduate courses offered in this major focus

not only on the broad aspects of management and

organization, but also on developing skills for dealing

with problems of motivation, organization design, and

the increasingly complex problems of human resource

allocations in our interdependent society.

This major provides the flexibility to accommodate

students whose interests include preparation for corporate

management training positions, application of behavioral

science to management, personnel function in both line

and staff capacities, and managing the small business.

Major Requirements

Junior and Senior Years

• Required courses (6 cr.)

• BUS W430 and BUS Z302

• Elective courses (12 cr.) Select four of the following

Human Resource Management Major

This program is designed for students whose career

objectives lie in the field of personnel management.

From its early beginnings as a staff function involving

the maintenance of records and the administration of

benefit programs, personnel administration has grown

to encompass the total development and deployment of

human resources in organizations.

While company titles may vary from vice president of

industrial relations to vice president for organization

planning and development, few firms of any size or

consequence today do not have a human resource

management specialist reporting directly to the company’s

highest level. This practice reflects the awareness that the

people who work in an organization are its greatest asset.

For this reason, the curriculum in human resource

management is designed to acquaint the student

with modern personnel management in its broadest

sense. Included are both the traditional areas of

personnel administration and labor relations (such as

employment, management development, wage and salary

administration, organizational planning, and contract

negotiation) and developments in the behavioral sciences

that have implications for a complete human resource

management program.

The objectives at the undergraduate level are to provide

students with the broad spectrum of knowledge they need

for a career in organizational leadership, to prepare them

for a career in human resource management, and to

encourage and develop an interest in further study and

research in this area.

Major Requirements

Junior and Senior Years

• Required courses (12 cr.)

• BUS-Z 302, BUS-Z 441, BUS-Z 443, BUS-Z

International Studies Major

In response to new and dynamic patterns of international

business, U.S. business firms have progressed far

beyond the comparatively simple stage of import-export

22 September 2, 2022

operations. Many companies are becoming multinational,

with production units in numerous foreign countries.

intimately concerned with the economic, political, and

social trends of foreign nations. The Kelley School of

Business has recognized these developments in its global

business programs.

The international studies major is a second major only. It

cannot be listed as a first major. Students must complete

15 credit hours of International Dimension courses. These

15 hours must be spread across at least 2 options with no

Business Indianapolis are waived from 6 credit hours

of International Dimension and may pursue the second

major in International Studies through one of the following

options:

1. International Business (9 credit hours). BUS

D301, BUS D302, and BUS F494 or BUS M401

2. Study Abroad (12 credit hours). Approved

Department of Marketing

Marketing Major

The study of marketing concerns all activities related

to the marketing and distribution of goods and services

from producers to consumers. Areas of study include

customer behavior, the development of product offerings

to meet consumer needs, pricing policies, institutions

and channels of distribution (including retailers and

wholesalers), advertising, selling, sales promotion,

research, and the management of marketing to provide for

profitable and expanding businesses.

The marketing curriculum endeavors to provide the

business community with broadly trained graduates who

can approach problems with a clear understanding of both

marketing and the interrelationships between marketing

and other functions of the firm. Students planning careers

in marketing management, advertising, sales, sales

management, retailing, wholesaling, marketing research,

Department of Operations

The Operations Department is responsible for the Supply

Chain Management major. Over the years, the Operations

Department has maintained a tradition of excellence that

continues to evolve as the dynamic field of operations

management continues to advance.

Supply Chain Management

Many of today’s most admired businesses—companies

like FEDEX, Toyota, and Wal-Mart—dominate the

competition using supply chains as competitive weapons.

Supply chain management includes all the activities

involved in planning, sourcing, making, and delivering

goods and services between suppliers, manufacturers,

intermediaries, and customers.

Its major areas of study revolve around products,

information, and cash flows between supply chain partners

as well as balancing supply and demand, managing

supplier and customer relations, improving processes,

fulfilling orders, developing logistics and transportation

networks, and controlling returns.

September 2, 2022 23

Our curriculum not only provides students with the

knowledge and skills to successfully launch a career

in supply chain management, but also prepares

graduates for advancement in terms of promotion and

responsibilities. While some students concentrate on

supply chain management, many others combine it

with their interests in finance, marketing, information

technologies, entrepreneurship, accounting, and

international business as part of a double major. In most

of today’s fast-paced, complex, and increasingly global

businesses, a fundamental understanding of supply chain

management is often crucial to success.

Undergraduate Programs

The Undergraduate Program of the Kelley School of

Business provides opportunities for breadth of education

as well as for a reasonable amount of specialization.

As a member of the Association to Advance Collegiate

Schools of Business (AACSB), the school subscribes

to the principle that a significant portion of a student's

academic program should be in general-education

subjects, complemented by study in the basic areas of

business administration. This assures the planning of

balanced study programs while enabling a student with an

interest in one or more professional areas of business to

specialize in those fields.

Integrative Core

All undergraduate study programs also include courses

that ensure the development of a basic understanding of

the principles and practices involved in the management

of business firms in the dynamic economic, social,

and political environment of the world today. At IUPUI,

four interrelated, rigorous junior-level courses in the

management of finance, marketing, operations, and team

dynamics, known collectively as the Integrative Core, are

required of all business majors.

Integrative Core emphasizes the trends likely to shape

the pattern of the world in the years ahead. Beyond these

basic requirements, students are given an opportunity to

pursue studies from a wide variety of subject areas.

Honors Courses

Honors courses are available to students in the Kelley

Honors Program. All freshmen and sophomore honors

courses are open to Kelley students with a 3.5 GPA or

higher.

Leadership and Social Responsibility

To develop leadership skills and a sense of social

responsibility, students are strongly encouraged to

participate in one or more of the student organizations

at IUPUI. Special emphasis is placed on volunteerism

and the personal benefits derived from participating

in community service. The Kelley School of Business

Learning Community course, BUS-X103, involves

freshmen in a service-learning project in the local

community. This course is an entrance requirement for

admission to the school.

Senior Standing

Upon attaining senior standing, students enjoy a broader

range of elective courses and special opportunities

for discussion and counseling with senior members

of the faculty. Courses at the senior level ensure

widespread participation by students in the solution

of case studies, projects, and special problems drawn

from the contemporary business scene. Also, seniors

typically hold offices in professional student organizations,

which gives them exceptional extracurricular experience.

The course BUS-X320 Business Career Planning and

Placement prepare students for the transition to the world

of business. This course also helps students locate and

select employment opportunities that hold the greatest

promise for them.

Program Objectives

Graduates of the undergraduate program of the Indiana

University Kelley School of Business should:

1. Have a general knowledge and appreciation of

human accomplishments in the physical sciences,

arts, humanities, and social sciences

2. Possess a broad-based knowledge of business and

the business firm, and the role business plays in our

society

3. Understand the national, international, political,

social, and economic environment that affects a

firm's operations

4. Be able to articulate their thoughts orally and in

writing and be computer literate

5. Have a sensitivity to and appreciation of ethical

issues

6. Possess an appreciation of the opportunities and

problems of managing complex organizations

7. Have the skills and ability to work effectively with

others in the completion of joint tasks

8. Possess the ability to find and formulate problems,

think analytically, and recommend solutions to

problems

The undergraduate curriculum is designed to provide

students with the above attributes. Graduates should have

acquired an education that will serve them throughout their

careers in business, not just prepare them for an entry-

level position.

Honor Code

The Indiana University Code of Student Rights,

Responsibilities, and Conduct is outlined and defined in an

August 15, 1997 publication. This code exists as a guide

for students, faculty, and staff and is available from the

Kelley Office of Academic and Professional Development.

In addition, the Indiana University Kelley School of

Business has developed the following Honor Code to

clarify and codify student conduct in the Undergraduate

program. Students admitted to the program or taking

undergraduate courses are bound by this code:

On my honor, as an Indiana University Kelley School of

Business Indianapolis student, applicant, or student taking

Kelley School of Business classes, I will conduct myself

honestly with faculty, staff, and fellow students. I promise

my academic activities will support original and class-

specific work as defined in the IUPUI Code of Student

Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct. I will report any

knowledge of academic dishonesty to the appropriate

person.

I promise to maintain a respectful attitude toward others

as reflected by my conversations, written correspondence

and classroom behavior. Furthermore, I will represent the

Kelley School of Business with a high level of integrity and

in a positive manner and I will require the same of others.

As a student of the Kelley School of Business, I promise to

adhere to all elements of its Honor Code and understand

that I will be held accountable for my actions and/or

inactions.

34 September 2, 2022

The Kelley School may discipline a student for academic

misconduct, defined as any activity that tends to

compromise the academic integrity of the institution

and undermine the educational process. Academic

misconduct includes, but is not limited to the activities

specifically prohibited above, interference with another

person's right to learn, violation of course rules, and

facilitating academic dishonesty. The school may also

discipline a student for acts of personal misconduct

that occur on university property, or in connection with

university business. Such acts include, but are not

limited to falsifying emergency warnings, release of

access codes for university resources, lewd, indecent,

or obscene conduct, unauthorized entry, damage to

university or property belonging to others, sexual and

racial harassment, verbal abuse, harassment or threats,

and all other acts of personal misconduct as defined

by the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and

Conduct.

A Kelley student already knows the benefits of studying at

one of the nation's premier business schools. Taking the

advantages of Kelley education steps further, the Kelley

Honors Program offers a way for high-achieving students

alongside an executive from a local company to tackle a

pressing business issue.

Master of Business Administration

The Indiana University M.B.A. Program is recognized

as one of the top graduate business programs in the

country. It offers three programs that lead to the Master of

Admission to any of the programs is selective and is

based on the evaluation of several factors, including

results from the Graduate Management Admissions Test,

undergraduate performance, essays, recommendations,

September 2, 2022 37

work experience, leadership, and other indicators of

potential for success in a rigorous program of study and in

a business career.

Bound by a common body of knowledge and philosophy,

each program is designed to meet the diverse needs of

students at different levels of career development and

responsibility. For further information on the curriculum,

format, prerequisites, and admission requirements for

each program, contact the specific program of interest.

Evening M.B.A. Program, Indianapolis Campus

Candidates for the Evening M.B.A. degree program in

Indianapolis come from diverse academic backgrounds

and represent many businesses and industries. The

program incorporates a wide range of business issues

and integrates business disciplines to provide a strong

program experience. Study teams and networking play

an integral part in the evening program. Skill building in

the areas of leadership, collaborative decision-making,

teamwork, and communications are integral aspects of the

total program experience.

Modules of study generally span one quarter (12 weeks)

with class meetings delivered in a hybrid method with one

night per week in the classroom and one night per week

online. A streamlined 24-month, 54-credit-hour program

allows for maximum planning and integration with career

and personal commitments.

Qualified people from all academic backgrounds who

represent any business or industry and who are motivated

to study in a challenging graduate business program are

encouraged to apply for admission to graduate programs

in the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University in

Indianapolis. Application materials are due in the M.B.A.

office by April 1st for August entry and by July 1 for

November entry. For information, contact the Evening

M.B.A Program Office at [email protected] or (317)

274-4895.

The cohort structure: Each entering group of newly

admitted M.B.A.'s forms a student cohort that moves

through the M.B.A. core courses together. Within each

cohort there are smaller study groups that may work

together on projects and study teams.

M.B.A. students may take a variety of the electives for

the 15 credit hour requirement and can focus 12 credits or

more in one area for a major. Majors are:

• Finance

• Marketing

• Management & Entrepreneurship

• Operations & Supply Chain Management

Executive Management Orientation: Immersion in a

live business case, classroom exposure to fundamental

business principles, and completion of career reflection

exercises and tools set a foundation for executive skill

development in the Evening M.B.A. program. Foundational

instruction in microeconomics, strategy, and general

business acumen prepares students for their case

exercise.

Students work in teams and are given a live business case

and have a week to prepare the case and present their

recommendations. The competition is designed to allow

students to assess their strengths and weaknesses at the

beginning of the program, better understand a business

and how to think strategically about management, and to

build some team cohesion and chemistry.

International opportunities: From the small business to

the international corporation, every business interaction,

product, and service has the potential to have a global

impact. From our internationally experienced faculty

to our course offerings, we will prepare you to thrive

in that environment. Our Emerging Markets course

provides M.B.A. students a hands on opportunity to gain

international and consulting experience.

Students do background preparation in the first part of the

quarter and then travel to their host country. There, the

students work on a consulting assignment that culminates

in a presentation to the international host company.

Capstone Projects: Enriching education with practical

experience often means extending learning beyond the

classroom. The Evening M.B.A. enterprise program

engages Kelley M.B.A. students in strategic assignments

with Central Indiana companies, offering a unique

opportunity for all involved to benefit.

Capstone projects enable you to experiment with a new

career identity with little risk but potentially great reward.

The breadth of a student's professional opportunity is only

as big as your network of professional contacts. Kelley

Evening M.B.A professors will purposefully generate

opportunities for you to talk with individuals in the Central

Indiana business community who can offer targeted

professional guidance.

Capstone Projects enhances the process of peer

or learning within the program. Professors will offer

opportunities for social engagement that strengthen

personal ties between students. Students take their

capstone course during their second year of their M.B.A

courses.

Graduate Certificate in Medical Management,

Indianapolis Campus

Revolutionary changes have shifted the demands for

healthcare management. That’s why we created the

Graduate Certificate in Medical Management.

This 12-month program is delivered through a combination

of online learning and in-person classes.

Some might call it a “mini-MBA,” as the graduate

certificate provides many benefits of an MBA with a lower

investment and shorter time commitment. If an MBA is

part of your plan, you can carry your credits into the Kelley

Evening M.B.A. Program.

Students in the Graduate Certificate in Medical

Management Program represent all aspects of healthcare

—from nurses to practice managers to physical therapists

and care coordinators to hospital marketing professionals

and healthcare administrators. This unique blend of

frontline and administrative backgrounds creates an

environment for productive classroom discussions with

diverse perspectives on how to address the challenges of

healthcare.

Graduate Certificate in Internal Audit

The Graduate Certificate in Internal Audit (GCIA) is a 12

credit hour program designed to (1) prepare students

for a lucrative career in internal audit and (2) provide the

academic foundation to successfully pass the Certified

Internal Audit exam.

The demand for internal auditors is high across all

business disciplines, particulary in management,

operations, strategy and systems. The GCIA is a

specialized program aimed to equip students with the

undergraduate degree. The remaining courses will be

completed as a graduate student. The certificate hours

will transfer into the Master of Science in Accounting or

the Master of Science in Taxation.

To complete the GCIA, select 12 credit hours from the

following:

Required course:

Select 3 credit hours from the following courses:

IU Kelley School of Business

Welcome to the Kelley School of Business!

Message from the Associate Dean, Kelley School of

Business

Thank you very much for your interest in the Kelley School

of Business. The school's history can be traced to the

50 September 2, 2022

early 1920's, when a select group of students and faculty

had the foresight to undertake a program of study that has

become known throughout the world as one of the finest

of its kind. From both the Indianapolis and Bloomington

campuses, the Kelley School of Business conducts

operations across the globe.

The joint resources of Indiana University-Purdue

University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and IU Bloomington allow

us to offer outstanding programs in business to a

significant percentage of Indiana's population.

IUPUI is Indiana University's capital-city campus. As

Indiana's state capital and a major metropolitan area,

Indianapolis is an ideal place to study business. Within city

blocks of the Kelley School is the highest concentration

of corporations, government offices and agencies, small

businesses, health care providers, professional practices,

and not-for-profit organizations in the state. The campus

affords a unique and dynamic environment for learning,

conducting research, teaching, and collaborating with

businesses. It is difficult to imagine a richer context in

which students of all ages can enhance their knowledge

and leadership skills while maximizing their personal

development.

All programs are offered in convenient, accessible

ways to both full and part-time students. High-tech

delivery systems, joint programs with other schools

at IUPUI, student organizations, and alumni activities

make the Kelley School of Business an exciting place

to be. Participation in the Kelley School involves more

than merely taking courses. We offer a comprehensive

educational experience that prepares you to join the

growing number of IU graduates providing leadership in

business organizations around the world.
