their career and life interests. Students will choose a major in their second year after they complete eleven Core and Skills course requirements at Krea. The faculty mentor assigned to each individual student in the first trimester will engage regularly with the student in an advisory role to help both with the choice of major and in creating an academic action plan for the student for the next two years.

Krea University is one of the best liberal education-providing universities, hence having constructed a very selective admission process.
The admission process consists of two stages
Stage 1-
- Submission of the application form
- Shortlisting for Krea Immersive Case (KIC)
- Financial Assistance Application opens
Stage 2 –
The Krea Immersive Case consists of:
- Case study presentation: The faculty presents a case for the students in the KIC. These cases usually highlight an ongoing or relevant topic for the applicants. The cases encourage students to understand the various perspectives mentioned in the case study.
- Reflection essays: Applicants reflect on the case study by writing about their perspective of the case study.
- Group Discussion and Presentation: Applicants after reflection work in groups to plan and provide approaches that could resolve issues addressed in the case study and make a presentation. The presentation is to be presented to a panel of faculty and admissions team members.
- Conversations: Applicants engage in conversations with a panel comprising faculty and admissions team members.
The decision is finally given on the basis of a combination of results of both stages.
