When you come to Kelley on the IU Bloomington campus, you'll benefit from more than just our top-ranked degree offerings and the largest business school alumni network in the world—you’ll benefit from all of the perks that come from being in the sophisticated small town of Bloomington, Ind., population 80,000—approximately 40,000 of whom are students, representing all 50 states and more than 130 countries. A town named:

  • One of America’s most beautiful college campuses and top college towns. Travel & Leisure, New York Times, thebestcolleges.org, Livability.com, USA Today
  • One of America’s top-50 adventure towns. National Geographic Adventure Magazine
  • Top 10 foodie city, 2013; a destination for wine and culinary enthusiasts. Livability.com, Orbitz

And that doesn’t even begin to cover the excitement of being on a Big Ten campus during basketball season (go Hoosiers!) or during “the world's greatest college weekend”—the weekend of the Little 500 bicycle race which inspired the Academy Award–winning movie, Breaking Away. Plus, world-class performances are as close as a local club or IU's top-ranked Department of Theater & Drama and Jacobs School of Music, natural beauty abounds, and we boast more ethnic restaurants per capita than New York City.

The late Conrad T. Prebys, BS’55, committed a $20 million gift to Indiana University, a portion of which will fund construction of a new career center. Completed in December 2017, the Conrad Prebys Career Services Center meets an important need for providing career services to an increasing number of students at Kelley as well as other undergraduates across the Bloomington campus.
