General Education Requirements
General Education courses provide our curriculum with the "strong foundation" recommended by the Association of American Colleges (1994). Study in these areas helps students develop skills and competencies that will transfer to all aspects of their personal and professional lives. At least 56 credit hours in general education courses are required to graduate with a Bachelors degree from the Kelley School of Business. Students are permitted to count up to 9 credit hours of Economics as general education credit hours.
Note: In certain courses, minimum grades are required. Many courses have pre-requisites. See a Kelley School of Business academic advisor for details concerning these and other requirements.
