Jack's Finance B.S. at Kelley
Jack is an IU Kelley student on the Finance B.S. track. This page walks through where he stands, what's between him and graduation, and what to do first.
What this document covers
Jack's actual transcript (forwarded 2026-04-11) shows he is enrolled at IU Kelley for Spring 2026, currently taking Kelley Compass 1 and the rest of the freshman/sophomore core, with approximately 93 credits already accepted as transfers. His chosen track is the Finance B.S. This page walks through the three things that matter: where he stands today, what it takes to finish the Finance B.S. from here, and the specific actions to take in the next 4–6 weeks to stay on track.
Where Jack stands, right now
The most important fact in this whole document: Jack is in the Kelley core right now. BUS-T 175 Kelley Compass 1 is the Kelley freshman/sophomore orientation course; ECON-B 251 Fund of Econ for Business I and MATH-B 110 Math for Business & Public Affairs are the Kelley business quantitative base. He's on the Kelley track.

Notable: this is exactly the Kelley freshman-core load. BUS-K 201 specifically is the information-systems/decisions foundation and lines up with any Kelley path that includes an analytics or data-science major later. BUS-T 175 (Compass) is the mandatory orientation course — every Kelley student takes it.
Transfer credits accepted by IU (93 cr)
IU has slotted Jack's BGSU, OSU, Ashland, and Baldwin Wallace coursework into the categories below. The ones marked Undistributed are the important ones to watch — IU accepted the credit but hasn't yet decided which specific Kelley-required course it replaces. Every undistributed credit is potentially a free elective or potentially a major requirement — depending on how the registrar slots it.

The single most important open question
Of the 93 accepted transfer credits, 16 courses (48 credits) are "undistributed" — IU accepted them but hasn't yet slotted them into specific Kelley course equivalents. Ten of those 16 are
BUS-UN 200/BUS-UN 300/BUS-UN 400 — business credits that might map to Kelley major requirements, or might land as free electives, depending on how the registrar evaluates each one. Getting those undistributed entries properly mapped is the single highest-leverage action for Jack's time-to-degree — a single advising meeting could eliminate a full semester of Kelley required courses. The full ask list with Jack's likely source courses and suggested Kelley targets is in the Ask for Credit tab.
The one-paragraph answer
Jack is on the Kelley Finance B.S. track with roughly 93 transfer credits accepted and 14.5 more in progress this Spring. The highest-leverage action he can take in the next four weeks is not picking courses — it's a transfer credit advising call that converts his 48 credits of "undistributed" transfer entries into specific Kelley course equivalents. One 15-minute meeting, with the right three asks (see the Ask for Credit tab), could eliminate three of the four new Kelley required courses he just learned about. After that, the Finance B.S. is a straight line: finish the remaining Kelley business core prereqs this summer (see the Summer 2026 tab), hit the junior-year I-Core (the one-semester cohort block) in Spring or Fall 2027, then upper-division Finance coursework, and graduate.
The Finance B.S. path from here
Jack's Kelley Finance B.S. breaks into four phases. The first one he's already in; the last one is graduation. Each phase has a clear prerequisite chain and a specific set of courses. The whole thing is ~2.5 years from today, assuming the summer gets used well.
Phase 1 · Now through Spring 2026
Finish the Kelley core that's already in progress
In progress
Jack is finishing the Kelley freshman/sophomore core right now — six courses totalling 14.5 credits — from the Spring 2026 table above. The only action here is: finish the semester cleanly. Every course in this list is a prereq for something later, so losing any of them costs a semester.

Highest-leverage phase
Four Kelley core requirements sit between Jack and I-Core eligibility: Business Writing, Kelley Compass 2 (BUS-T 275), BUS-K 304 Business Technology, and BUS-L 201 Legal Environment of Business. Plus ECON-B 252 to close the two-course business econ sequence. Some of these may already be satisfied by Jack's undistributed transfer credits — see the Ask for Credit tab for the specific advising asks. Whatever isn't satisfied, summer 2026 is the right time to take (see the Summer 2026 tab for the two packing options).

Key unlockI-Core eligibility
Critical pathYes
This is where a single advising call matters most. If the Kelley transfer credit advisor maps Jack's BW BUS 326 to BUS-L 201, his BW BUS 358 to BUS-X 204, and his BW BAN 365 to something in the BUS-K chain, the summer load drops from 10.5 credits to 1.5 credits — just Kelley Compass 2. That's the single decision that can shave half a year off the degree.
Phase 3 · Spring 2027 or Fall 2027
Kelley I-Core (the cohort block)
Fixed structure
Kelley's Integrative Core is the one-semester junior-year cohort block every Kelley undergrad takes: four courses taught together, problem sets that weave across all four, and the expectation that you're only enrolled in those four for the whole semester. The specific courses are:
BUS-F 300Introduction to Finance — the finance piece of I-CoreBUS-M 300Introduction to MarketingBUS-P 300Introduction to Operations ManagementBUS-J 375Integrative Experience — the capstone that ties the other three together
I-Core is not offered in summer. It's a cohort, taught once per regular semester. Jack picks the semester when he's ready (all prereqs cleared, nothing else blocking), commits the full semester to it, and comes out the other side qualified to take any upper-division Kelley course.

Phase 4 · Fall 2027 → Spring 2028
Finance major courses + electives + graduation
Graduation
After I-Core, Jack's remaining coursework is the Finance major itself — the upper-division finance courses that define the B.S. Typical Kelley Finance B.S. post-I-Core requirements (verify exact list with the advisor — degree requirements can shift year-to-year):
BUS-F 303Intermediate Corporate FinanceBUS-F 305Intermediate InvestmentsBUS-F 420Advanced Corporate Finance (or equivalent capstone)- Two or more upper-division Finance electives (e.g.,
BUS-F 446Bond Markets,BUS-F 494Finance Topics) - Any remaining general education / liberal arts requirements
- Free electives to hit the 120-credit graduation minimum
Note on Jack's F25 BUS-UN 400 (BW FNC 485 Empirical Methods in Finance): this undistributed 400-level business credit is the single most likely-to-be-valuable transfer entry for the Finance major itself. Ask the advisor to map it against a specific Finance upper-division elective — it could eliminate a whole upper-division course requirement on its own.

Single highest-leverage action, next 4 weeks
Book a Kelley transfer credit advising appointment. Bring every syllabus from the Prior Syllabi tab. Walk through the 16-row list on the Ask for Credit tab with the advisor, row by row. Write down each decision as it's made. Three specific asks to lead with:
- BW
BUS 326→BUS-L 201Legal Environment of Business - BW
BUS 358→BUS-X 204/BUS-C 204Business Writing - BW
BAN 365→BUS-K 303/BUS-S 302(for theBUS-K 304chain)
One piece of important context
IU program cuts 2026-27 — Kelley is safe, but watch Spanish
Indiana is mandating 43 undergrad program suspensions/eliminations at IU Bloomington alone, 249 across the IU system, 75 eliminated entirely, effective 2026-27. Confirmed cuts: Art History, Classical Civilization, Religious Studies, Spanish, Earth Science, Music, and Statistics. Kelley business programs are NOT on any public cut list — Kelley is in growth mode, record application demand. The Finance B.S. is completely safe. The one watch-item for Jack specifically is that Spanish is on the cut list, and his transfer-credited
HISP-S 100 from BW SPN 101 should be confirmed in good standing during the advising call, before any Spanish-department reorganization makes it harder to verify the credit.
Next concrete actions
- Book a Kelley transfer credit review — the 15-minute meeting that matters most. Bring the Ask for Credit tab open on one screen and the Prior Syllabi tab on the other. Write down every decision.
- Register for Summer 2026 using Option A or Option B from the Summer 2026 tab — but only after the transfer credit review, because it may cut the summer load in half.
- Declare the Finance major formally if Jack hasn't yet. Kelley typically wants the primary major declared by the end of sophomore year; doing it sooner locks in the Finance requirements list and gets Jack assigned to a Finance-specific advisor.
- Plan for I-Core — target Spring 2027 if everything goes smoothly. That means every prereq on the checklist needs to be done by end of Fall 2026. Work backward from that target when scheduling fall classes.
- Start building the Finance internship pipeline — the summer before junior year is when Kelley Finance students typically do their first internship. Career Services + the Kelley Finance career coach can help line that up. If Jack picks Summer 2026 Option B (lighter load), this is partly to leave room for that internship.
Summer 2026 — the two real packings
Jack should use summer 2026 to knock out the non-sequenced Kelley business core prereqs — the courses he has to finish before junior-year I-Core (the one-semester cohort block that can't be taken in summer). Two options below, depending on how much load he wants to carry. Both are planning recommendations, not an official advising schedule — verify with a Kelley advisor before registering.
Before registering — three questions to answer in advising
The summer load could shrink by 3–6 credits (or grow by 3) depending on how these three questions land in a 20-minute advising call. Do the call before summer registration opens:
- Does
ENG-W 131satisfy the Kelley Business Writing requirement, or does Jack also needBUS-X 204/BUS-C 204? (Controls whether summer is 3 courses or 4.) - Do any of the undistributed
BUS-UN 200/300/400credits coverBUS-L 201,BUS-K 304, or Business Writing? If yes — and I think at least one does — the summer load can shrink significantly. See the Ask for Credit tab for the specific asks to bring to the meeting. - Is
ECON-B 251the sole prereq forECON-B 252? Jack finishes B 251 in Spring 2026, so if that's the only prereq, B 252 can land in summer and close the econ sequence.
Option A · The ambitious summer
Four courses, 10.5 credits — 2 per session
Fastest path to I-Core
Two courses first session, two courses second session. A manageable summer for a motivated student, especially if Jack isn't holding down a full-time internship. Closes out four Kelley core prereqs at once and leaves fall 2026 lighter.
| Session | Course | Title | Credits | Why this one |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Session I | BUS-K 304 |
Business Technology | 3 | Kelley core prereq Jack doesn't have; natural sequel to BUS-K 201 which he's finishing Spring 2026. Take it while K 201 is fresh. |
| Session I | BUS-T 275 |
Kelley Compass 2 | 1.5 | Direct sequel to Compass 1 (BUS-T 175) Jack is finishing Spring 2026. Short, must be done before junior year, usually offered summer. |
| Session II | BUS-L 201 |
Legal Environment of Business | 3 | No sequenced prereq — can be taken anytime. Core Kelley requirement. Commonly offered summer in-person and online. |
| Session II | ECON-B 252 |
Fund of Economics for Business II | 3 | Direct sequel to ECON-B 251 which Jack is taking Spring 2026. Closes the two-course business econ sequence and removes it from his fall load. |
| Total | 10.5 |
Pros
- Four Kelley core prereqs done in one summer — biggest progress-per-month of any schedule
- Closes the econ sequence cleanly while
B 251is fresh - Leaves fall 2026 lighter for harder Kelley business core (
BUS-A 201,BUS-X 100, etc.)
Cons
- Heavier summer load — harder to combine with a full internship
- If
BUS-L 201turns out to be satisfied by BWBUS 326(see Ask for Credit tab), this schedule is over-packed by 3 credits
Option B · The lighter summer
Three courses, 7.5 credits — internship-compatible
Room for a job
The same summer minus ECON-B 252 — push Econ II to Fall 2026 or Spring 2027. This version leaves enough runway for Jack to hold a summer internship (which a Kelley finance student really should do at least once) while still closing three Kelley core prereqs.
| Session | Course | Title | Credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session I | BUS-K 304 |
Business Technology | 3 |
| Session I | BUS-T 275 |
Kelley Compass 2 | 1.5 |
| Session II | BUS-L 201 |
Legal Environment of Business | 3 |
| Total | 7.5 |
Pros
- Leaves real time for a summer finance internship — Kelley students with internships have better job placement than without
- Still closes three Kelley prereqs
- Less cognitive load if Jack's Spring 2026 finish is stressful
Cons
- Econ sequence stays open —
ECON-B 252pushes to fall, slightly heavier fall 2026 load - Slightly slower to the I-Core trigger
What's deliberately not on either list
- Business Writing (
BUS-X 204orBUS-C 204) — Kevin's notes list this as required, but Jack may already have it covered viaENG-W 131(transfer credit from BW ENG 131) or via BWBUS 358Business Communications (currently one of his undistributedBUS-UN 300entries). Question 1 above decides this. - I-Core components (
BUS-F 300,BUS-M 300,BUS-P 300,BUS-J 375) — Kelley's junior-year Integrative Core is a cohort block and is not offered in summer. Don't try to take these in isolation. - Upper-division Finance electives (
BUS-F 303,BUS-F 305,BUS-F 420) — all post-I-Core. Summer 2026 is too early. - More math / calculus — not needed for a Finance-only track. Jack's
MATH-B 110(in progress Spring 2026) plus transferredMATH-M 127covers the Finance B.S. quantitative requirement.
Recommended default
Pick Option A unless Jack is locking in a summer finance internship. The marginal 3 credits of
ECON-B 252 are a full semester's worth of econ sequence closure, and getting it done in summer keeps the fall schedule cleaner. If the internship shows up, fall back to Option B and push Econ II to fall.
The credit-ask list
This is the list Jack takes into his Kelley transfer credit advising meeting. Two sections:
- The 16 "undistributed" transfer entries — credits IU accepted but hasn't yet slotted into specific Kelley course equivalents. Each row shows the IU undistributed entry, the most likely Baldwin Wallace or Ohio State source course, and a suggested Kelley target the advisor could consider. These are my best guesses from pattern-matching Jack's BW transcript against IU's catalog — the real answer comes from the advisor with the syllabi in hand. The Prior Syllabi tab has every BW and OSU syllabus Jack will need for this meeting.
- The four new Kelley requirements Jack recently learned about — Business Writing, Kelley Compass 2,
BUS-K 304, Legal Environment of Business. For each, an assessment of whether Jack's existing credits might already cover it. Even one "yes" removes an entire course from his to-do list.
Top three highest-leverage asks — lead with these
Walking in with three specific matches could eliminate three of the four new required courses Jack just learned about. In priority order:
- BW
BUS 326→ IUBUS-L 201Legal Environment of Business. The BW course is literally titled "Legal Environment of Organizations." This is a near-certain match and directly satisfies a named Kelley requirement. Must-ask. - BW
BUS 358→ IUBUS-X 204orBUS-C 204Business Writing / Business Communication. The BW course is "Business Communications" — the naming overlap is almost exact. If this maps, it covers one of Kevin's four new required courses. - BW
BAN 365→ IUBUS-K 303Managing Information Technology /BUS-S 302Management Science. The BW course is "Business Analytics" — depending on how BW structured it, it might partially satisfy theBUS-K 304requirement, or at least count toward a Business Analytics co-major requirement.
BUS-T 275 Kelley Compass 2 — the one thing with no BW analogue).
Section 1 — Map undistributed credits to specific Kelley courses
All 16 undistributed entries, organized by the IU term code they were recorded under. Each row has a likely source course (Jack's BW/OSU/BGSU course that generated the credit) and a suggested Kelley target that the advisor should consider.

Rows highlighted in green are the three high-leverage asks from the callout above. Bring the matching syllabi (BUS 326, BUS 358, BAN 365) open on the advisor's screen and ask directly for these specific mappings.
Section 2 — Check whether the four new Kelley requirements are already covered
Kevin learned (from Jack) about four specific courses Kelley requires for the Finance B.S. track. Each one might already be satisfied by something Jack has in his transcript — the advisor needs to check each.
| Required course | Credits | Might already be satisfied by | Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business Writing ( BUS-X 204 / BUS-C 204) |
3 |
(a) ENG-W 131 already in IU transcript from BW ENG 131, OR(b) BW BUS 358 Business Communications (currently an undistributed BUS-UN 300)
|
Likely yes Option (b) is the stronger match — BUS 358's name alone screams "Business Communication." |
| Kelley Compass 2 ( BUS-T 275) |
1.5 | Nothing — it's a Kelley-specific orientation course with no BW analogue | Must take Plan summer or early fall 2026. |
BUS-K 304 Business Technology |
3 |
(a) BW BAN 365 Business Analytics (currently undistributed BUS-UN 300), OR(b) BW ACC 245 Bloomberg & Excel Cert (currently undistributed BUS-UN 300)
|
Possibly Ask the advisor directly whether either maps. Even partial credit helps. |
| Legal Environment of Business ( BUS-L 201) |
3 | BW BUS 326 Legal Environment of Organizations (currently undistributed BUS-UN 200) |
Very likely yes The course names are nearly identical. This is the highest-confidence match in Jack's whole transcript. |
Meeting script — what Jack says in the advising call
A short, direct way to walk through this list with the advisor. 15 minutes, tops. Bring the syllabi folder open in another tab.
"Hi — I'm a Spring 2026 transfer into Kelley from Baldwin Wallace, and I've got 48 credits worth of undistributed transfer lines on my record. I've already identified the Baldwin Wallace or Ohio State source for each one, and I have the syllabi available. Can we walk through them and see which ones can be slotted into specific Kelley course equivalents, especially these four named courses I need for the Finance B.S.:BUS-L 201,BUS-X 204,BUS-K 304, and theBUS-T 275Kelley Compass 2 requirement?
Three specific matches I'd like to lead with:I have the syllabi for all three open and ready to share with you."
- My BW
BUS 326Legal Environment of Organizations — I believe this directly maps toBUS-L 201.- My BW
BUS 358Business Communications — I believe this maps toBUS-X 204orBUS-C 204.- My BW
BAN 365Business Analytics — I'd like to know if this helps satisfyBUS-K 304, a Business Analytics co-major requirement, or both.
Before the call — actually do these three things
- Open the Prior Syllabi tab and download
BUS 326,BUS 358, andBAN 365— the three high-leverage asks. Have them open in tabs during the meeting. - Have this page open to Section 1 so the 16-row undistributed table is right in front of Jack and the advisor. Don't rely on memory.
- Bring a note-taking doc and write down the advisor's decision for each row as it gets made. The advisor will forget what she said by the end of the meeting; the written record is Jack's job.
Jack's prior-class syllabi
These are the syllabi Jack assembled for his transfer credit review. They're the courses he took before enrolling at IU Kelley — 16 from Baldwin Wallace and 3 from Ohio State. All 19 are hosted here directly so the Kelley transfer credit advisor can pull exactly what she needs for the undistributed-credit review.
What's here and what isn't
Present: all 16 Baldwin Wallace course syllabi Jack had in his Google Drive, plus the 3 Ohio State course syllabi he used for his BW transfer-in review, plus the one-page Transfer Credit Evaluation cover doc. Not here: syllabi for the 4 Bowling Green courses (HIST 1250D, HIST 1260D, BIOL 1080D, WRIT 1110D) and the 2 Ashland courses (POLSC 102, MATH 108). If Kelley asks for those, Jack will need to request them from BGSU and Ashland registrars directly.
Baldwin Wallace — 16 courses (where Jack was enrolled before IU)
Ohio State University — 3 courses (transferred-in to BW, now also transferred to IU)
Transfer credit evaluation cover doc (the summary Jack sent to BW's registrar)
Courses without syllabi in the Google Drive archive (may need to be re-requested)
The transcript evaluation also covers these courses, but the syllabi for them weren't in the folder Jack pulled from Google Drive. If the Kelley transfer advisor asks for any of these, Jack will need to request them from the original institution's registrar.

What the advisor actually needs
For the undistributed-credit review, the Kelley transfer advisor is going to want to match each
BUS-UN 200, BUS-UN 300, or BUS-UN 400 line on the IU transcript to a specific BW course and its syllabus. The 16 BW syllabi above are exactly what she needs. Open the Overview tab, find the undistributed entries in the transfer ledger, and use the course codes to pick the matching syllabus from the BW grid here.
