When selecting an MBA program, finding a school with amazing traditions, die-hard sports fans, and a wealth of diversity and cultural entertainment, makes daily life one of the benefits of a business degree. Here at Krannert, our Full-Time MBA students are leading consulting meetings one day and cheering on the Boilermakers or visiting a campus art gallery the next. Discover the wide array of offerings that make daily life at Krannert unforgettable.
Traditions
Traditions — and the students and staff that celebrate them — are a large component of what makes Purdue so unique. From a 10-foot-tall drum that makes an appearance on the football field at every home game, to the annual 50-mile go-kart race, and the largest collegiate
newspaper in the state of Indiana, our Boilermakers are committed to traditions. And, we’re just getting started! Learn about all of Purdue’s traditions,
and find your favorite.
Athletics
The athletics at Purdue are ingrained with tradition and history, and — sometimes — covered in black and gold paint. Like any school, we have our rivalries, but, these competitions come with 100-year old stories, and even the coveted
bucket and cannon.
Cheer on our Boilermakers as they compete against other Big 10 schools, workout at the recreation center in between classes, compete in intramural sports, and practice your swing at one of our golf courses.
Student Organizations and Diversity
With hundreds of Purdue clubs, Krannert MBA organizations, and centers
and groups for specific populations, Purdue students have a vast selection of choices at their fingertips to get involved.
