Industrial Management

You want options. A life without limits. An education that opens doors.

Industrial Management majors want to run the business. They want to do the work. This makes them very valuable to employers. People with skills and active knowledge in more than one area are coveted. They think big, act decisively and build teams. They make things happen.

So what sets an Industrial Management major apart? Your major is Industrial Management but your minor can be from the Krannert School of Management, the School of Science or the School of Engineering. Not to brag, but our management, science and engineering schools are a really big deal and recognized as such around the country and around the world.

This could be the moment you decide not to choose. You can do it all.
