Sixteen Indiana universities hold AACSB-accredited business schools, from the Mendoza College of Business at Notre Dame to the four Indiana University regional campuses, and this page lists the SAT and ACT scores of the students they admit, what each costs a New York student, and what the Kelley School of Business asks of a student Indiana University admits without admitting him to Kelley.
Fourteen report both tests, a tie, so the table leads with the SAT.
At Bloomington a pre-business student is admitted to Kelley automatically with an A- or better in every course on the first attempt, and anything less sends him to a review decided as space allows.

Indiana Business Colleges by SAT and ACT Score
Indiana’s sixteen AACSB-accredited business schools run from the Mendoza College of Business at the University of Notre Dame, with a Math range of 735 to 790, to two universities that report no range, and the table below lists each with its SAT and ACT ranges where reported, cost of attendance, enrollment and admit rate. Twelve are public and four private, fourteen report an SAT range, and the rows are sorted by the midpoint of the SAT Math range, with a tie broken on the ACT composite midpoint and the two non-reporters following in order of enrollment, so the order can be checked from the table itself.
| College | SAT Reading & Writing | SAT Math | ACT composite | Business school | Cost of attendance | Undergraduates | Admit rate |

Evansville’s $44,172 is $3,388 below Butler’s and $20,853 below Notre Dame’s, and it admits 78%. The Scorecard has no range for it, so a student should read the university’s own admissions page for the score it expects.
Sixteen rows say who got into the university. The next section is about the one at which getting in is not the same as getting into the business school, and what the business school asks in the first semester.
What Does It Take to Enter the Kelley School of Business as a Pre-Business Student?
An Indiana University-Bloomington student the university admits without admitting him to the Kelley School of Business is labeled pre-business and applies for standard admission in his second semester, and for the cohort entering in 2026-27 he is admitted automatically with an A- or better in every IU Bloomington course on the first attempt, or reviewed as space allows with anything less.
Kelley’s criteria page for students entering summer 2026 through spring 2027 asks for three things before it reads a grade. The student must have at least 30 credit hours of college coursework by the end of the semester he applies, with AP, IB, dual-enrollment and test credit counting. He must be enrolled full-time at Bloomington, 12 hours or more, in that semester. And he must have completed the seven I-Core prerequisites, 17.5 hours in all: BUS-A 100 Basic Accounting (1), BUS-C 104 or C 106 Business Presentations (3), BUS-K 201 or K 204 Foundations of Business Information Systems and Decision-Making (3), BUS-T 175 Compass 1 (1.5), ENG-W 131 English Composition (3) or one of three equivalents, ECON-B 251 Fundamentals of Economics for Business I (3) and MATH-B 110 Mathematics for Business and Public Affairs (3) [VERIFY the list and hours on the criteria page].
The window is one semester wide. The page tells a pre-business student to “Submit your application for admission to Kelley in the second semester,” and then: “Applications submitted after two semesters will not be considered.” The application opens February 1 and closes April 1 for a fall start, and opens September 1 and closes November 1 for a spring start.
Then the page reads the grades, and the automatic path is narrow. A student with an A- or better in every IU Bloomington course on the first attempt is admitted. Everyone else goes to a comprehensive review that the page says is decided “as space allows.” Two rules can end it early. A student is ineligible after his first semester if he has three or more grades below A-, with a W, an I or an X counting as one, or any D or F. And two unsuccessful attempts at a single prerequisite, a grade below C, a withdrawal, an incomplete or an X, is an automatic denial.
The rule has moved three times. The Indiana Daily Student reported in August 2025 that the automatic threshold for standard admission was a B in every class for students who enrolled through spring 2025, a B+ for students entering from fall 2025 through spring 2026, and an A- for students entering from fall 2026. The same report says that automatic direct admission from high school, formerly a 3.8 GPA with a 1370 SAT or a 30 ACT, ended for students entering fall 2026, and that the Kelley Admissions Committee now reviews a Kelley Prospective Inventory for “high school rigor, academic performance, academic achievements, and the potential for success at Kelley” [VERIFY every item on Kelley’s direct admission page and quote it from there].
Purdue’s door is a different shape. A Purdue student in another college changes into the Daniels School through a CODO, Change of Degree Objective, and the Daniels page sends him to the catalog for his entry year for the GPA and course list, allows one conditional CODO while the last courses are in progress at West Lafayette, and makes the change effective at once if the request is filed in the first two weeks of a semester [VERIFY the Daniels GPA and courses in the 2026-27 catalog’s Major Change requirements]. Whether a freshman is admitted to Daniels directly on the application is not on the CODO page [VERIFY].
Set against the earlier pages, Kelley’s gate is the first in this grid that is a ceiling rather than a floor. On our page on business colleges in Idaho, Boise State’s 2.5 across nine courses opens the door to anyone who reaches it. On our page on business colleges in Illinois, Gies runs a pool that reads college grades and takes about a third. Kelley’s automatic line is an A- in every course, the review beneath it is as space allows, and the three-grades rule can close the door in December, before the application opens in February.
| Door | Who | What Kelley asks | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| Direct admission | A high school senior applying to IU with Kelley | The Kelley Prospective Inventory, reviewed for rigor, performance, achievements and potential. The former 3.8 GPA with a 1370 SAT or 30 ACT no longer admits by itself [VERIFY] | Admitted to Kelley, or admitted to IU as pre-business |
| Standard admission, automatic | A pre-business student in his second semester with 30 hours, the seven I-Core prerequisites and an A- or better in every IU Bloomington course on the first attempt | The application between February 1 and April 1, or September 1 and November 1 | Admitted |
| Standard admission, review | A pre-business student with the hours and prerequisites and one or two grades below A- | The same application, read in comprehensive review | Decided as space allows |
| Closed | Three or more grades below A- (W, I and X count) or any D or F after the first semester. Two failed attempts at one prerequisite. Any application after two semesters | Nothing |
The image above shows a pre-business student’s first year at Bloomington and where the Kelley door opens or closes.
Does a 3.8 GPA and a 1370 SAT Still Admit a Student Directly to Kelley?
No, a 3.8 GPA with a 1370 SAT no longer admits a student directly to the Kelley School of Business, because Kelley ended automatic direct admission on that line for students entering in fall 2026 and reviews a Kelley Prospective Inventory instead [VERIFY on Kelley’s direct admission page].
The committee reads high school rigor, academic performance, academic achievements and the potential for success at Kelley, in the report’s words, and the test score is one input among them rather than a line that admits by itself. A student IU admits without Kelley is pre-business the day he arrives, and the first semester decides whether the automatic path is still open to him in the spring.
An A- in every course, one spring to apply, a review beneath it. Which schools hold the accreditation is the next section.
Which Indiana Universities Have AACSB-Accredited Business Schools?
Sixteen Indiana universities hold business accreditation from AACSB International, twelve public and four private, and the list below names each with its city and the school that awards the business degree [VERIFY all sixteen on the AACSB directory before publishing].
- Purdue University in West Lafayette awards its business degrees through the AACSB-accredited Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. School of Business.
- Indiana University-Bloomington in Bloomington awards its business degrees through the AACSB-accredited Kelley School of Business.
- Ball State University in Muncie awards its business degrees through the AACSB-accredited Miller College of Business.
- University of Southern Indiana in Evansville awards its business degrees through the AACSB-accredited Romain College of Business.
- Indiana University-Indianapolis in Indianapolis awards its business degrees through the AACSB-accredited Kelley School of Business Indianapolis.
- Purdue University Fort Wayne in Fort Wayne awards its business degrees through the AACSB-accredited Doermer School of Business.
- Indiana University-Southeast in New Albany awards its business degrees through its AACSB-accredited School of Business.
- Indiana University-South Bend in South Bend awards its business degrees through the AACSB-accredited Judd Leighton School of Business and Economics.
- Indiana University-Kokomo in Kokomo awards its business degrees through its AACSB-accredited School of Business.
- Indiana University-Northwest in Gary awards its business degrees through its AACSB-accredited School of Business and Economics.
- Purdue University Northwest in Hammond awards its business degrees through its AACSB-accredited College of Business.

- Butler University in Indianapolis awards its business degrees through the AACSB-accredited Lacy School of Business.
- Valparaiso University in Valparaiso awards its business degrees through its AACSB-accredited College of Business.
- University of Evansville in Evansville awards its business degrees through the AACSB-accredited Schroeder School of Business.
Accreditation matters for a reason that is easy to miss at seventeen. Business itself is not a licensed profession, and the one business degree that leads to a license, accounting, leads to it through the state board rather than through the school. A CPA in Indiana normally sits with 120 hours, 24 in accounting and 24 in business and economics, and licenses on 150 hours and two years of experience until January 1, 2027, when a bachelor’s with an accounting concentration and two years becomes a second route [VERIFY on the board’s page]. AACSB status matters on the way there because business schools use it to decide whose courses they will accept in transfer.
DePauw University in Greencastle is the school a New York family asks about first among those left off, because it reports a Math range of 600 to 720, admits 57% and charges every student $59,070, and it has no AACSB-accredited business school [VERIFY]. Indiana University-East in Richmond is listed by AACSB as a non-accredited educational member, reports 470 to 570 on Math, admits 67% and charges a New Yorker the same $22,811 as the four regional rows [VERIFY]. The University of Indianapolis says in its 2026-27 catalog that its School of Business is “nationally accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP)” and “a member of” AACSB, charges every student $37,200 and admits 67%. Marian University in Indianapolis holds IACBE accreditation, charges $40,664 and admits 95%. Taylor, Trine, Indiana Tech, Indiana Wesleyan, Anderson, Bethel, Huntington, Grace, Franklin, Hanover and Saint Mary’s award business degrees under the ACBSP, the IACBE or no business accreditor [VERIFY each], and Rose-Hulman awards no business bachelor’s. None of them is a row.
Nothing on this page ranks the sixteen. They are twelve public universities and four private with the same accreditor, one ceiling at Kelley, two flagships $13,097 apart, and the pages for business colleges in Illinois, business colleges in Ohio and business colleges in Michigan carry the schools a student looking at Indiana is likely comparing.

In Indiana Notre Dame’s floors are 735 on Math and 33 on the ACT, Purdue’s are 600 and 27, Bloomington’s 580 and 27, Butler’s 570 and 26, and two rows publish none. A student under the floor he wants is not ruled out, because a quarter of admitted students were there too. He is in the quarter that needs the rest of the application to carry more.
The first step is finding out where the score actually is, section by section. A free diagnostic SAT gives a Math score that can be set directly against Bloomington’s 580 floor and Purdue’s 600.
The Math section rewards the same handful of topics on every test date, and a student who knows which of them he is missing can close a gap of 50 to 100 points in weeks rather than months. The method is on our page on improving your SAT Math score, and at Bloomington the same algebra fills MATH-B 110, one of Kelley’s seven prerequisites and one of the courses that must come back at A- or better for the automatic path.
How to Read These Score Ranges
Each range in the table covers the middle 50% of admitted students who submitted that test, so a quarter of admitted students were below the lower number and a quarter were at or above the upper one.
A range describes the students who chose to submit at all. Where a school is test-optional, the range describes the submitters, and the submitters are the students whose scores helped them. A row marked not reported means the Scorecard has no range for that university, and a student should read the university’s own admissions page for the score it expects. More on what SAT score you need for college and on test-optional colleges.
Should You Take the ACT Instead?
Indiana requires no statewide college-entrance test of its public school juniors [VERIFY], and fourteen of the sixteen rows report both tests.
A New York student who holds an SAT should send it everywhere in Indiana and leave the ACT alone unless a school elsewhere asks for it. Kelley’s old direct-admit line read either test at 1370 or 30, and the inventory that replaced it reads neither by number [VERIFY].
