From Bloomington, Indiana: The Kelley School of Business will offer a new master of management program starting in the 2024-25 academic year to provide graduate students with fundamental business knowledge in leadership, entrepreneurship and other management courses. According to the Kelley School of Business blog, the new degree is designed to bring together students from a variety of disciplines to develop their business acumen.

“That was a really big motivating factor for us — to be able to give a pathway to students in any school to be able to get management and business competencies,” Richard Ash, the chair of the new program, said.

The new degree includes a special component for students who did not major or minor at Kelley during undergraduate study. They will complete a summer crash course in topics typically covered in an undergraduate business major or minor. Students who studied at Kelley while undergraduates will then join in to complete a two-week management-specific program to prepare them for courses taken during the regular academic year.
