The learning experience at Daniels is very dynamic and practical. Throughout the program, I have been deeply immersed in case analyses, group projects, and different learning dynamics such as simulations and role-playing exercises. These methods help connect theory with real business situations. I now approach decisions with a much more critical and analytical mindset."

Our curriculum will provide you with critical knowledge in all areas of business operations, including accounting, marketing, financial management, operations management and strategic management. Your plan of study also includes electives that allow for customization in accordance with your career goals.
Leading global organizations takes more than business and technical skills. Leaders must think strategically, communicate effectively and develop strong relationships across teams — and you’ll gain experience in it all during your time in the One-Year MBA program.
You'll bring classroom knowledge to bear on experiential learning opportunities catered to tech-savvy professionals. All students participate in an active learning project in which they apply the lessons learned in class to an emerging or existing enterprise. Students may also work with entrepreneurs and technologists at Purdue’s Discovery Park and Purdue Innovates, among other groups.
