Purdue University’s Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management programs are informed by cutting-edge research on topics that explore how human interactions can contribute to developing and sustaining effective and satisfying workplaces. The Daniels School hosts the Purdue HR Case Competition and Conference, which features corporate sponsors, both a graduate and undergraduate division, and cash prizes. Our programs provide comprehensive curricula and real-world experience through industry projects, mentoring and networking.
We build upon program curricula by offering undergraduates and master's students valuable student employment opportunities at the Daniels School as research assistants, teaching assistants, and more.
Starting fall 2027, students can prepare to lead organizations with research-driven, evidence-based approaches to solving workplace challenges. This degree program is designed to build future leaders who combine analytical business skills with expertise in people, leadership and organizational strategy. Unlike traditional human resources programs, the Purdue OBHRM is grounded in the Daniels School's comprehensive business curriculum. Natalie Schneider is the academic director.
Students in our Human Resource Management master’s program benefit from a refreshed plan of study and participation in consulting projects, study abroad, case competitions, conferences and the student-run chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management.
