We understand that you lead a busy life. We also understand that you refuse to sacrifice quality for convenience. Kelley Direct’s unique design gives you both.
Every aspect of Kelley Direct is designed with today’s busy working professional in mind. With a curriculum that can be completed in as little as two years or as many as five, you can go through the program at the pace that fits your goals and lifestyle. There are no required times to be online although there are many opportunities to interact with professors and classmates through discussion forums and optional online live meeting sessions (which are always recorded). Of course, flexibility does not mean lack of rigor. You can expect to spend 7-10 hours per week on your studies for each course you take.
