Program Launch Week

Each program begins with a program launch, providing the foundation to achieve success as a Purdue Executive MBA student. You will spend this time meeting and interacting with faculty, staff, and your fellow students. In addition to team building exercises and classroom learning, you will be introduced to Purdue University systems and resources to help you make the most of your 19-month EMBA journey.

For 150 years, Purdue students have been making giant leaps in their field. Launch Week is the beginning of your Purdue journey, preparing you to make your mark on the world. Welcome to your new home, Krannert Center! Study teams have been formed and each group is working together to try to have the most profitable company in our finance game — Finance For Everyone. We know your goal is to move up in your career, so we’ll help you outside of the classroom too, like providing complimentary professional headshots and career counseling. Our top-notch faculty cannot be beat. Some are so dedicated to your success, they travel across the country, and even overseas, to be in residency with your cohort! Some people call it a cohort. We call it a family.

Check out a sample launch week schedule to see how we blend traditional coursework with group work, and provide important resources for our students.
