Welcome to the School of Management
Welcome to our school! I trust you will enjoy your time with us and will find out later that, in retrospect, it was time well spent. It is my privilege to be Dean of the School of Management at Purdue Calumet at a time when the University is leaping forward and the School of Management is transforming itself into a more vibrant, more challenging and more exciting place to learn.
Our faculty is student-oriented. Their charge is to be excellent teachers first and foremost. They share their scholarship with peers in their field through publications. Their research supports their teaching as it helps keep them current and relevant in their discipline. They provide services to the university, their profession and the greater NWI community by providing their expertise where needed.
Our graduate programs, MBA and MAcc, seek to allow our students take many different career paths. We revise our programs on an ongoing basis to respond to changes in the market. We are looking forward to introducing more learning opportunities into our curriculum (internships, study abroad, student research, student business consulting, etc.). We have plans for many new graduate electives, new certificates, and new interdisciplinary degrees.
The Purdue University Calumet School of Management is the premier affordable school of business in Northwest Indiana and the greater Chicago area. The school offers a BA in Business, BS in Management, BS in Computer Information Systems, BS in Accounting; Master of Business Administration (MBA), MBA for Executives, and Master of Accountancy (MAcc). We offer students the opportunity to study in the areas of marketing, human resource management, business economics, information systems, finance, entrepreneurship, accounting, retailing, and equine management. Our undergraduate students are exposed to high quality experiential learning opportunities, including internships and small business consulting, which enhance their desirability in the job market. International students and faculty add to the global outlook students take away from our programs. We are dedicated to providing quality education to our students and to promoting economic development in Northwest Indiana.
The world of business is exciting and dynamic. We bring real world business experience into the classroom preparing our students to be successful in a changing global environment. Your experience in the School of Management will be as rich as you will make it. We encourage you be actively engaged with fellow students, your professors, and the community around you. As a student you might run a simulated business, consult with local small businesses, compete in the CPA competition, develop leadership skills in one of our clubs, have an internship in your chosen field, or discuss business issues with students from other countries.
We invite you to explore our programs, ask your questions, meet our professional faculty and staff, and discover the activities and external partnerships in which we participate in the Northwest Indiana Region and beyond.
