Our mission of transforming the lives of students, organizations, and society through management education, research, and service is achieved because of the strength of our faculty, staff, students and alumni and because of our many collaborative partnerships worldwide with other academic units and institutions, government entities, and for-profit and nonprofit organizations. Kelley School produces students who have three characteristics in common: the talent to succeed, the humility to grow, and the tenacity to persevere. Our students use their knowledge, skills and abilities to advance the vision and mission of the organizations they join and the communities in which they live. A key to building students’ capabilities is our use of unique pedagogies across all degree programs. Another key is the innovative and customizable curricula we employ to address the unique needs of learners. Our teaching methods go beyond business theory to application. We promote experiential learning throughout our programs. Our programs cover far more than just basic functional areas of business (e.g., accounting, economics, finance, marketing, operations, analytics and information technology) and incorporate essential areas of leadership, diversity, equity, and inclusion, globalization, and ethics. Kelley produces students who are citizens of the world, individuals with strong technological and analytical skills, and leaders who understand the importance of integrity and accountability. As such, graduates are effective at managing uncertainty and ambiguity, responding successfully to challenges, and contributing to their organizations on day one. Our students advance rapidly in their organizations and throughout their careers because of their commitment to lifelong learning.
