The Krannert School of Management is Purdue University's school of management. Krannert is sometimes referred to as the Krannert Graduate School of Management or simply as Krannert. The school was established in 1962 as the Krannert School of Industrial Administration with a $2.7 million endowment from Herman & Ellnora Krannert.
Krannert's undergraduate business program has been consistently ranked as one of the top fifteen programs in the United States by U.S. News and World Report. The undergraduate business program confers degrees in Industrial Management, Management, Accounting, and Economics.
Classes are conducted in the Krannert Building, which opened in 1964, and Rawls Hall. Rawls Hall was funded by a $10 million donation from alumnus Jerry Rawls and opened in August 2003.
Rawls Hall is home to the Professional Master's Programs (MBA, Master of Science in Human Resource Management, and Master of Science in Industrial Administration), with a current enrollment of approximately 200 students per year. [1]
Krannert's MBA program is a top twenty business program by U.S. News and World Report and number five Midwest regional program by the Wall Street Journal. The Regional ranking is based on how recruiters rated each school on 20 different attributes, their future plans to recruit at the school, and the number of survey respondents who said they had recruited recently at the school. These schools tend to draw many of their recruiters from their local regions, as opposed to nationally.
