There are several reasons why students with families are attracted to Krannert. One of these is Krannert's unique MSIA program.  The MSIA is a one-year alternative to the traditional MBA degree that comprises the core curriculum of the MBA. This degree often appeals to students with more extensive work experience who may have children of their own. In addition, there are various social groups that allow students and their family members to share the experience while at Krannert.

Safe, Clean Community
Students also cite the city of
West Lafayette as a factor in making their decision to come to Krannert.  The city is a small community that is one hour northwest of Indianapolis and two hours southeast of Chicago.  The city has been recognized nationally for its excellent school system, its well planned green spaces and its extensive bicycle routes.  Many describe the home of Krannert as a community with all the benefits of a small town with a cosmopolitan flavor.  

Family Friendly
Krannert makes student's families feel welcome right away. During Unite Week family friendly social events are a fundamental element of getting oriented to life as a Krannert student.  Events like these give your family the chance to make friends and contacts at the same time you are meeting your fellow students.
