Extracted Content: Several U.S. business schools have closed their struggling full-time M.B.A. programs in recent months, and the coronavirus outbreak may endanger more.
Purdue University’s Krannert School of Management in Indiana said last month that it would stop admitting students to its two-year resident M.B.A. program for the 2021 academic year, making it one of the most high-profile schools yet to close its program.
The news followed announcements by the University of Missouri’s Trulaske College of Business and the University of St. Thomas’s Opus College of Business in Minnesota, both of which said they wouldn’t admit a new M.B.A. class this fall.
