One-Year MBA

Purdue University's STEM-designated, One-Year MBA focuses on analytical and quantitative skills. It is designed to help talented individuals with technical backgrounds or those moving into a tech-centric role transition into management and leadership roles. Our MBA students benefit from rigorous curriculum, leadership training, career services and experiential learning opportunities.

The One-Year MBA program offers everything a more traditional, two-year MBA program offers, but in a format that allows you to finish in 11 months.

Common traits of One-Year MBA students

  • Early to mid-career professionals with backgrounds in STEM fields seeking to leverage their technical skills in managerial roles.
  • Non-STEM professionals aspiring to transition into tech-centric industries or roles that require a robust understanding of technology integration in business disciplines.
  • Recent highly qualified graduates who wish to start their career in a management area.
