School of Management


Overview

Purdue University’s Krannert School of Management is dedicated to the discovery, preservation and dissemination of knowledge and to the professional and personal development of its students. Krannert’s faculty has a deep commitment to scholarship that inspires both the creation and the critical evaluation of new ideas and insights.  Krannert’s curricular and extra-curricular programs are designed to allow students to have daily interaction with the faculty, staff and each other, working in diverse teams to solve problems, creating a student centric environment for learning and experimenting with new ideas and insights.

The school’s academic programs are designed to prepare students for lives of active and productive citizenship. To that end, those programs begin with a solid foundation of courses in the Core Curriculum including the arts, sciences and mathematics intended to develop a rigorous, analytical foundation, a wide intellectual curiosity and an appreciation for the breadth and diversity of the means by which we come to understand our world.  Students have flexibility to choose some of these courses to reflect their personal interests and goals.

Rising out of that foundation in the junior and senior years is a demanding professional education designed to further sharpen the student’s analytical and decision-making abilities through exposure to the challenges confronted by the various management functions of finance, production, marketing, human resources, strategic planning, management information systems and related areas. It is this core of analytical, often mathematically based, instruction in the latest principles of management and quantitative methods that is the hallmark of management education at Purdue. In advanced classes, frequent discussion of carefully chosen case studies helps students to gain facility in the application of these principles within a broad range of management contexts.  Students have opportunities to work with professionals from the “real world” in workshops, student clubs, industry-sponsored case competitions, and summer internships.  To prepare for work in a global setting, students are encouraged to investigate study-abroad trips and international service-learning courses.
