WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The Mitch Daniels School of Business at Purdue University will reduce tuition for its online Master of Science in Global Supply Chain Management (MSGSCM) program by more than 30%, beginning with the Fall 2026 semester, expanding access to a high-impact graduate business degree while maintaining the program’s academic rigor and career value.
The move reflects Purdue’s continued commitment to broadening access to world-class education and strengthening the return on investment for working professionals pursuing advanced business credentials. New rates can be found here.
The tuition reduction applies to both in-state and out-of-state students enrolled in the online MSGSCM program. Current students will also benefit from the lower cost for future semesters, reducing their overall financial investment while maintaining the same curriculum, faculty and program structure.
“This is a strategic investment in growth and access,” says Jim Bullard, the Dr. Samuel R. Allen Dean of the Mitch Daniels School of Business. “Purdue has always believed that a world-class education should be within reach for ambitious professionals. By lowering the cost of our online supply chain master’s program, we are expanding opportunities for more students to develop the skills and leadership capabilities needed in today’s global economy.”
The Daniels School’s online MSGSCM program is built at the intersection of STEM and business, drawing on Purdue’s longstanding leadership in engineering and manufacturing. The program offers industry-focused learning and personalized pathways that allow students to align their coursework with specific career goals.
Bullard says the tuition change reflects Purdue’s broader mission as a land-grant university.
“As a land-grant institution, our responsibility is to expand access to education while maintaining the highest standards of excellence,” Bullard says. “This initiative allows us to deliver high-quality graduate business education at scale without compromising the rigor, outcomes or student experience that define a Purdue degree.”
Importantly, the change does not represent a reduction in program quality or faculty support. Courses, curriculum and instructional resources will remain unchanged.
“Our focus remains firmly on outcomes,” Bullard says. “We want our graduates to see tangible results — career advancement, higher earnings and the ability to create meaningful impact within their organizations.”
The online MSGSCM program already delivers strong career outcomes. Graduates report an average salary increase of approximately $23,000 from the start of the program to six months after graduation. Many also report enhanced managerial and leadership skills and the ability to drive operational improvements in their companies.
The tuition reduction is also expected to support the program’s continued growth, enabling more professionals to complete their degrees while balancing career responsibilities.
“Reducing financial barriers means more talented professionals can pursue advanced training in supply chain management,” Bullard says. “At a time when global supply chains are more critical than ever, expanding access to this expertise benefits not only our students but also the organizations and communities they serve.”
The cost change applies only to the Daniels School’s online MSGSCM program and does not affect other specialty master’s programs or the school’s online MBA. Scholarships, military tuition matches and existing installment payment options will remain available to students.
The new tuition rate will take effect for students enrolling in the Fall 2026 semester.
