Krannert Executive MBA Program

A successful candidate to the Krannert Executive Master's Program will have the following:

1. Completion of a baccalaureate degree with a grade point average of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale;
2. A minimum of five years' work experience in positions of increasing professional responsibility;
3. A current position of significant responsibility;
4. At least two letters of recommendation;
5. Optional GMAT score of 520 or above if submitted to enhance application materials

Please note: EMBA program requirements are consistent with the specifications of our accrediting body, the AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, and the Purdue University Graduate School.

The career demands and needs of the practicing manager dictate the curriculum design of the EMBA program. The constituent courses are founded on theory, but have an applied decision-making focus. The EMBA is a 'cohort' program that is, all students in each class enter together, take a common set of courses in sequence together, and graduate together. This format, coupled with internet-based communication tools, is what makes it possible for the class sessions to be concentrated into a series of two-week residencies.

The course curriculum for the three modules of the program is shown in the table below.

The topic content of the various courses is similar to that of the corresponding courses in the Krannert School's full-time graduate management program, but the EMBA courses are less technique-oriented and more policy oriented in character.

In addition to the extensive general management curriculum, EMBA students take courses designed to amplify or complement their core knowledge. The nature and content of these courses, such as International Economics, Leadership, Negotiations, International Finance, and Global Marketing, are especially influenced by current and emerging trends in the global economy. It is therefore likely that these courses and their content may change from one year to the next in order to reflect those trends. Students will always be advised of such changes and the content and nature of the new courses will typically be discussed with the class at orientation.

The tuition fee payments for the class that entered the program in 2009 was the three modules at $25,000 per module or $75,000 for the entire program. These charges were all-inclusive: instructional costs, course materials, housing, and most meals during each residency.
