The Center for Business Communication at the Mitch Daniels School of Business offers competition experiences in courses and outside of the classroom.
The center supports select case competitions. We work with faculty, staff, other centers, alumni, and corporate partners to implement those case competitions.
The Center for Business Communication provides mentorship programs with alumni or faculty coaches to support teams participating in external case competitions.
Students can apply to participate in external competitions with other universities on the Pitch app. Selected competitions the center promotes in partnership with other universities and faculty are listed; offerings can vary year-by-year.
Have an external case competition we should know about? Let us know at buscasecomps@purdue.edu.
