Apply for International Admission

Transfer Process

If you have taken courses at an international institution, you must apply to IUPUI through the Office of International Affairs.

Once the Office of International Affairs has admitted you and transferred your credits, email Kelley Indianapolis' international student academic advisor to review your records and determine what you need for admission to Kelley Indianapolis.

During my years at Kelley, I had the chance to learn from great professors and to work with classmates in multiple, real-life projects. I'm confident entering the business field with professional communication skills and financial acumen.
