KITE Participants 

"KITE helped me learn American informal phrases that can be applied in real life.  I also learned real 'professional manners'.  [It was] a lot of fun, a lot of friends, and getting used to the real Krannert classes experience!"

"There were American expressions that you may have gotten during the academic year, but were very helpful to know in advance, especially because as international student the exposure to English has been very academic, while in KITE was very practical. I would recommend it. It allows you to have feedback and therefore improve your English skills."

"The greatest advantage is that you can make friends with international students before the semester.  The final project presentation was very exciting."

KIT Participants

“Having not previously taken any finance or quant classes, this program helped me to understand the level of understanding I should be at when coming into the Krannert experience. It was the warm up jog for the sprint of first module.”

 "The greatest benefit of the program was in the relationships I had made.  In addition, through KIT I was able to calm my anxiety about starting school again.  It eased me back into the 'student' frame of mind.  I would definitely recommend this program.  It's a great way to meet new colleague / friends, and gives you a head start on the academic aspect of the Krannert Master's programs."

“It [KIT] helped me feel more at ease with some of the material in the first portion of the course (specifically, accounting and quant).  A greater sense of comfort with the material… more relaxed in the first few weeks of quant, while everyone else was [struggling].”
