Answer: First and foremost, Krannert seeks to enroll students who are academically prepared for the rigor of a master’s degree in business. We strive to enroll students who will add to the rich variety and diversity of the Krannert learning environment.
We prefer applicants to have completed four years of full-time post-baccalaureate work, with a minimum of two years, prior to applying to the Weekend MBA program. We will consider relevant practical experience in the form of internships, military experience, etc. A limited number of strong applicants with less work experience will be considered and potentially offered admission.
Please note: English language assessment test scores are valid for a period of two years. If the test is expired, you will be required to retake an exam. The test must be valid at the time your application is under review by the Purdue University Graduate School.
Answer: Only if you have obtained a baccalaureate degree or graduate or professional degree within the past 36 months from a college or university where English is the primary language of instruction, in a country where English is the native language.
In order to meet this requirement, receipt of degree must fall within the 36 month period when your documents are under review by the Krannert School of Management and the Purdue University Graduate School. Test scores expire on the first day of the month in which they were taken.
