The “B or Better Program” is an exclusive program designed to help students succeed in ECON-B251. In Fall 2025, over 91% of students who completed the full 16-week program received a B or higher as their final course grade, and over 58% received an A- or higher.
This semester-long program works best when students start from “Day 1.” For students who are nervous about making a long-term commitment, any participant can withdraw at any time, for any reason, and receive a prorated refund for the remainder of the semester. In other words, you don’t need to be concerned that you will be “stuck” in something you don’t like.
Here is a short description of how the program works:
(1) During instructional weeks, students attend one 55-minute in-person “Group Session” on Sunday. You will choose the time based on your IU instructor because, unlike many Kelley-related courses, curriculum and pace vary from one section to the next.
Sunday Options (Pick One)
4:00pm (customized for students who have Professor Graf)
5:00pm (customized for students who have Professor Lantis)
** This program is not available for students who have Professor Glomm.
** Students who have Professor Raghav or a graduate instructor should contact our Program Director for further instruction.
(2) During the week leading up to each exam, Group Sessions are replaced by comprehensive Exam Review Sessions. These sessions are extremely important because exams constitute a high percentage of each student’s overall grade. Exam Review Sessions may occur on Fridays or weekends. If you have plans to leave Bloomington during the semester, please contact the Program Director before finalizing plans.
(3) Each week on Wednesday, students complete a grade submission consisting of two screenshots: one showing Canvas homework, attendance, and CL grades, and one showing test and quiz grades. This is a critical component of the program because it allows us to monitor progress and step in quickly if the program is not producing the desired results.
There are two payment options:
Way #1: Pay for the entire program up front for a reduced cost of $698. This option saves $99.
Way #2: Pay in four installments. Upon signup, students are charged $29, which covers the registration fee. There are three additional payments of $256 each: the first occurring on the 3rd Monday of the academic term, the second occurring on the 6th Monday of the academic term, and the third occurring on the 9th Monday of the academic term.
Finally, students may become eligible for partial refunds if they register before the start of the semester, comply with the program terms outlined on the linked page, and end with a course grade of “B-” or lower. This is called “Grade Insurance.” To learn more about how this works, visit the Grade Insurance page by clicking here.
