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 two programs leading to the Master of Business Administration degree.

Admission to either program is selective. It is based on the evaluation of several factors, including results from the Graduate Management Admissions Test, undergraduate performance, essays, recommendations, 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 men and women 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.

Master of Professional Accountancy

The M.P.A. Program is devoted to teaching the skills required of today's accountant. The plan of study insures that students are not only well versed in the technical aspects of their chosen specialty but also the nontechnical skills that are required for them to become true leaders in industry and government.

Students may apply to the M.P.A. Program with or without academic background in business or accounting. Those students entering the program with a bachelor's degree in business normally must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours of course work. Those with backgrounds in other fields may be required to do additional work to develop expertise in the core areas of business.

Students may apply to the program after completing a bachelor's degree. Admission selection is based on the evaluation of several factors, including results from the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT), undergraduate performance, recommendations, and work experience.

Doctoral Programs, Bloomington Campus

Indiana University offers two doctoral programs in business: the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and the Doctor of Business Administration (D.B.A.). The former degree is awarded through the University Graduate School, while the latter is awarded through the Kelley School of Business. The D.B.A. has been offered since February 1954; the Ph.D. in business, since October 1, 1982.

The Office of Doctoral Programs in the Kelley School of Business administers both programs. Students may select either degree designation at the time of application. It is possible to change from one degree to the other provided all the requirements of the new degree are met. While the objectives and requirements for both degrees are quite similar, there are some differences. Applicants should decide which degree best fits their career and intellectual objectives.
