ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT

"Purdue’s classes were able to give me both the theoretical and applied sciences. I was able to understand both the fundamentals of economics and what was driving the observations we have in the real-world and then to look at data and apply it to my job every day."

Eric Gibson

It aims to enhance students’ ability to analyze data and to evaluate, optimize, and forecast economic and business outcomes.
