Purdue NewsThe Oct. 20 edition of Business Week magazine lists Krannert's executive master's programs among the top 20 in the country. Business Week polled a combination of human resource managers and business school deans and administrators. The listing notes Krannert's use of the Internet and the inclusion of an international student trip as important features of the program.
A Krannert degree is also a value. At $33,000 for a two- to three-year advanced degree, the Krannert executive master's tuition was among the lowest of the top 20 business schools singled out in the survey. No other Indiana schools were listed among the top executive master's programs. But Indiana University was included among the global top 20 business schools in the nondegree study category.
Krannert also fared well in the ninth edition of "Which MBA?" The publication is a self-described student guide to the world's best graduate business school programs. The survey, completed by students and recent graduates of 115 business schools worldwide, is administered by The Economist magazine. In the guide, survey respondents rank Krannert ninth for career service offerings, 14th for administrative backup and facilities, 16th for the quality of the student body, 19th for support of women and minorities, and 25th for program content. Indiana University ranked 17th for career service offerings and tied with Purdue for program content.
"I am pleased that Krannert's executive master's program is recognized as one of the nation's premier programs for practicing managers," said Dennis J. Weidenaar, dean of the Krannert School of Management. "I also am delighted that the publishers of guide books for prospective master's students perceive Krannert as a high-quality business school."
There are 337 students enrolled in the traditional graduate programs at Krannert and
239 enrolled in the executive master's programs.
