8 MBA Graduation Requirements In order to receive the MBA from Indiana University Kelley School of Business through Kelley Direct, the candidate must: Apply and be admitted into the MBA program. Complete 51 semester hours of graduate work with no individual course grades below a C-. Compile a 2.75 or better cumulative grade point average in all graduate business course work. Meet all of the course requirements as stated in the handbook for the term of matriculation. Meet all of the above requirements within five (5) calendar years of initial matriculation. 8

9 Academic Prerequisites Required Academic Prerequisites: Accounting -- college-level financial accounting course (200-level or above) or equivalent with a grade of B or better or demonstrate significant work experience in financial accounting. Statistics -- college-level course (200-level or above) or equivalent with a grade of B or better or demonstrate significant work experience in statistics. Required Proficiency Skills: Microsoft Excel -- students without the appropriate level of proficiency in Excel should enroll in the KD statistics primer course. Kelley Direct (KD) requires students to be adequately prepared in the areas of accounting and statistics prior to enrolling in KD MBA or MS degree programs. Typically, our accounting and statistics prerequisites can be satisfied by a student enrolling in an undergraduate course (200 level or above) in these areas. However, KD recognizes that students might apply and be admitted into a KD degree program without enrolling in coursework that satisfies the accounting and statistics prerequisites. KD also recognizes that a person's skills in these areas might have eroded over time. When proficiency cannot be demonstrated via a transcript, students have satisfied these prerequisites by enrolling in undergraduate courses at a local university or community college. KD has developed primer courses in these areas if a student needs to receive additional instruction in accounting and/or statistics prior to enrolling in a KD MBA or MS degree program: Once admitted, a student's transcript will be reviewed to determine if a student has satisfied the accounting and statistics prerequisites. With the offer of admission, a student will receive written notice from the School if the student has not satisfied the accounting and/or statistics prerequisites. If a student needs to complete additional instruction, s/he will be given information with the admission letter on KD primer course(s) designed specifically to prepare students for the graduatelevel accounting and statistics courses. Students should then enroll in the KD primer course(s) in the event they have not already made other arrangements to satisfy the academic prerequisites (i.e., have not already enrolled in a course at a local college or university or in an approved correspondence course). KD primer courses are designed specifically to cover the material and to develop skills students should already possess when they begin a KD degree program. Admitted students who have not already made arrangements to improve their understanding and application of accounting and statistics will be required to take KD primer courses. 9

10 KD primer courses are self-paced. There is no final examination at the end of each primer unless proof of completion is required for reimbursement purpose. A student cannot "fail" a primer. The purpose of the primer is to ensure a student has the opportunity to learn the material needed and develop the skills required when s/he begins a KD program. Students should sign up for a KD primer as soon as possible in preparation for their first classes. Costs: The cost of each primer is $ plus the cost of the required accounting textbook. Remittance for the primer/s will be satisfied by credit card payment online. "Voluntary" Enrollment in Primer courses Finally, some students might wish to enroll in the primer course(s) to ensure they are prepared in accounting and statistics prior to enrolling in their degree program. Students interested in this option should contact kdprimer@indiana.edu. 10
