Primary Programs

Full course title Purdue Engineering/Management (E/M) Program Type of course General, geared to technical backgrounds

Description This program is sponsored by Purdue's Schools of Engineering and Krannert Graduate School of Management, and provides technical engineering and management course content to practicing engineers and engineering managers.

Full course title AAHA Veterinary Management Institute (VMI) Type of course General, tailored to AAHA members

Thru AAHA (American Animal Hospital Assn., which markets the program and handles registrations) and Purdue's Veterinary School, Purdue offers these respective areas in a multi-modular format, during weekends (minimizing time away from the practice), as continuing management education.
