<p>Kelley students,</p>
<li><p>How hard would it be to double major in Finance and Entrepreneurship?</p></li>
<li><p>What are the Entrepreneurship classes like? (Venture Ideas, Venture Models, Venture Planning, etc.)</p></li>
<li><p>What is the Johnson Center like?</p></li>
<li><p>How are internship oppurtunities?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Here are the requirements for both majors:</p>
<p>Finance: (27 units required–since the Accounting electives are 1.5 units each)
[Undergraduate</a> Program](<a href=“Finance | Finance | Indiana Kelley”>Finance | Finance | Indiana Kelley)</p>
<p>Entrepreneurship: (15 units required under the “new” major)
[JCEI</a> Undergraduate Program](<a href=“Johnson Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation | Johnson Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation | Indiana Kelley”>Johnson Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation | Johnson Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation | Indiana Kelley)</p>
<p>I think only 3 to 6 units of the required courses for the major overlap (However, all the courses required to get up to the major overlap–in fact they are exactly the same)</p>
<p>As far as which courses you would take for Entrepreneurship, they are listed at the second website listed above:
Here’s the page that describes those courses:
[Undergraduate</a> Courses](<a href=“http://kelley.iu.edu/Management/Courses/Undergraduate/page10124.html]Undergraduate”>http://kelley.iu.edu/Management/Courses/Undergraduate/page10124.html)</p>
<p>As far as opportunities in Entrepreneurship at the Johnson Center (JCI), look here:
[JCEI</a> Student Opportunities](<a href=“Johnson Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation | Johnson Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation | Indiana Kelley”>Johnson Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation | Johnson Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation | Indiana Kelley)</p>
<p>and look at the links down the left side that discuss the Entrepreneurship Institute, etc.</p>
<p>P.S. Indiana University at Bloomington was ranked as the #2 entrepreneurship school (at the undergraduate level) in the country–right behind Babson, I believe</p>
<p>As far as job prospects, Indiana University at Bloomington placed 92% of its graduates within three months of graduation two years ago–and I’m guessing that number went up last year. Though, I’m guessing this year it might be down a little because of the poor economy. I’m not familiar with the internship thing yet, though my son was in an full-time internship last summer (between his sophomore and junior years, earning $20 an hour). He got that on his own, though. This year he’ll be using the regular career placement office for internships (if he doesn’t get the ones he’s already planning to apply for directly)–and then I’ll know more about how effective that office is for internship placement. </p>
<p>Oh, and the reasons he’s not going back to the company where he did last year’s internship are:
(1) he switched majors from finance to legal studies,
(2) that company is not doing so well financially right now, and
(3) he wants to work for another firm besides that particular firm that he feels will be a better match for helping him get into law school in the future</p>
<p>Thanks Calcruzer, you are always a huge help.</p>
<p>I know somebody who is triple majoring in Finance, accounting, and entrepreneurship, and he says it’s difficult, but only because he decided to add entrepreneurship after sophomore year.</p>
<p>^Wow, that’s crazy. I’m interested in all of those.</p>
<p>Some more:</p>
<p>Is it common to get an internship between freshman and sophomore year?</p>
<p>What is the typical freshman schedule like for a Kelley Direct Admit.</p>
<p>Typical freshman schedule for a Kelley Direct Admit would be something like the following:</p>
<p>Fall Semester:
MATH M118 Finite Math (3 units)
BUS K204 The Computer in Business (Honors) (3 units)
ENGL W131 English Composition (3 units)
BUS A100 Basic Accounting Skills (1 unit course)
General Education (something like GEOL G121–Meteorites and Planets) (3 units)
General Education (something like PHIL 105–Thinking and Reasoning) (3 units)
Total: 16 units (1 honors course)</p>
<p>Spring Semester:
MATH M119 Survey of Calculus I (3 units)
BUS X205 Honors Business Communications (3 units) or CMCL C121 Public Speaking (3 units)
BUS A201 Introduction to Financial Accounting (3 units)
ECON S201 Introduction to Microeconomics (Honors) (3 units)
BUS X201 Technology (3 units) or a General Ed course (maybe TEL T206 Intro to Media Studies, which covers TV & Film production and script-writing)
Total: 15 units (2 honors courses)</p>
<p>I don’t know the percentage of students getting internships between the freshman and sophomore years–sorry.</p>
<p>I am a IU student right now in the University Division… but I am a bit worried on how hard it is to transfer into the Business School. These are my grades
M119 (Finite)-B+
Elementary Composition- B+
The Computers in Business- B+
Introduction to Business Administration- B+</p>
<p>what are my chances of admission?</p>
<p>Nishantrao, I can virtually guarantee that you’ll get in if you’re non-admission grades are halfway decent (which I’m sure they are).</p>
<p>It’s difficult to get an intership inbetween freshman and sophomore year. There are some who get them, but they are very hard to get.</p>
<p>^Good to know, thanks.</p>
<p>I’ll be visiting IU next week so hopefully I get alot of information about Kelley.</p>
<p>Grandmaster Flash,</p>
<p>I hope you’ll give us all updates on your perception of IU-B after you get through visiting this week. I’m sure the other applicants (and acceptees) would be interested in your opinion of things.</p>
<p>Internships are hard to get between freshman and sophomore years because most major companies don’t actively recruit them. They want students who are more advanced in their studies (which is why most internships are between junior and senior year) and are serious about a particular industry. With the economic downturn, many companies are only offering full-time jobs to their prior interns.</p>
