3+1 Case Competition: An impactful experience each February

Students with a variety of undergraduate majors, including social work, molecular life science, and supply chain management, discuss the hard and soft skills they learned by participating in the 3+1 Case Competition for masters program scholarships.

Learn from Kelley experts in cybersecurity, digital analytics and AI, and digital transformation with AI

Sharpen your problem-solving skills in this annual Kelley School of Business competition, which pairs teams of undergraduate students with students in the MS in Information Systems program to solve real-world business problems.

Like the MS in Information, the case competition is open to undergraduate students from all majors.
