General Information

The Kelley Direct Online M.B.A. is a 48 credit hour part-time program that begins with a one-week, in-residence course each year. The remainder of the program is Web-based and asynchronous, allowing flexibility for executives to learn according to their schedule. The program utilizes a quarter system of 12 weeks each quarter. Completion of the program will take two years. Students in the online M.B.A. will access text, audio, and video presentations, and use bulletin boards and chat rooms along with traditional textbooks and case studies to complete team projects, take tests, and write papers. The class interaction is asynchronous with some synchronous elements, allowing students the flexibility to balance family and career demands.

Students will need access to the Internet, a CD-ROM player, and a personal computer with these minimum requirements:

"Pentium" Processor or equivalent
28.8 modem
16 MG RAM (32 MG preferred)

The evaluation of an admission application involves both a qualitative and quantitative assessment. In the qualitative phase, your letters of reference, work experience, and other elements of your resume are reviewed. The quantitative component assesses your academic credentials as based on your GPA, your score on the GMAT, and where appropriate, a TOEFL score. Applications should be submitted as early as possible. The application deadline for August entry is June 1. Students may apply online at www.mbaonline.indiana.edu.
