Mitch Daniels School of Business
Purdue University’s Daniels School of Business has long been noted for its academic prowess in management and economics.
Faculty scholars have educated world-renown leaders since the 1950s. The “father of marketing science,” Frank Bass, joined us in 1961. That same year, Vernon Smith, the pioneering experimental economist, joined our faculty. He later won the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, and a Daniels School econ lab bears his name.
From these foundations we continue our evolution into a top business school built on five pillars: Integration of STEM + Business, Academic Prowess, Transformational Student Experience, Freedom & Capitalism, and Powered by Business Partnerships.
We enhance these academics with a full slate of events; centers of excellence, including experimental laboratories and research centers; and by offering our students valuable employment opportunities at the Daniels School as research assistants, teaching assistants, and more.
We keep our curriculum fresh by partnering with industry and alumni on projects that go beyond the traditional classroom setting.
We share Daniels School thought leadership in top research journal publications; video, podcast, and blog installments; and by showcasing our academic prowess at conferences around the world.
