BSc Business
Learn business from one of the top-ranked public business schools in the US. As a direct-admit Kelley student you build core skills across finance, marketing, accounting and analytics — with an unrivalled recruiting pipeline into consulting, finance and Fortune 500 firms.
- ✓ Study at a top-10 US public business school (Kelley · US News 2026)
- ✓ Direct admit to the Kelley School — guaranteed from your first year
- ✓ A direct pipeline to internships in consulting, banking and Fortune 500 firms
This degree gives you a rigorous foundation across accounting, finance, marketing, operations and business analytics, then lets you specialise in one or more Kelley majors. You'll work on real cases and consulting projects, take on summer internships, and graduate recruiter-ready.
Graduates join consulting, finance, marketing and operations roles across the US and worldwide. Standard OPT gives 12 months of US work authorisation — and STEM-designated Kelley majors (e.g. Business Analytics) extend that to 36 months.

Hear from our students
"Kelley's recruiting is unreal — the career fairs are packed with the Big Four, banks and Fortune 500 firms. I got a summer internship in consulting after my sophomore year. My counsellor helped me with everything from applications to the visa interview."
"Bloomington is affordable and the Kelley community is amazing. I added the Business Analytics major, which is STEM-designated — so I get 3 years of OPT. My counsellor secured me a merit scholarship I didn't know I qualified for."
