“The Daniels School of Business has an outstanding staff that drew me to continue my education at Purdue. The accounting department specifically is very focused on developing skills that will be necessary in the workforce. The curriculum in my program is directly tied to information I will need to know when taking my CPA exam, which is the reason the majority of my program is getting their MSA. I feel that the information I am learning has a clear correlation with my professional career.”Emily Robinson
“The strengths of the MSBAIM program lie in the professors and the well-designed curriculum. The program integrates upcoming industry practices with practical experience of working on a wide array of tools. Designing the curriculum can be especially challenging for the MSBAIM program, given that students come from a wide variety of backgrounds and job experience. But the curriculum has managed to cover the basics of each subject in detail, whilst also remaining challenging to students with prior work experience in that domain.”Anushila Satpathi
“Unlike most of my peers, I am not an engineer. Having an undergraduate degree in accounting and finance always made me have doubts about pursuing a technical degree. However, DSB’s GSCM program is a great blend of business and technical electives. Add to that the attractive fee, great ROI, employment opportunities and Purdue’s recognition made it an automatic choice.”Dhrumil Gala
“The Daniels School of Business curriculum has proven to be challenging and stimulating, even beyond what my undergraduate background prepared me for.

My professors are teaching me not only the foundations and fundamentals of finance, but also how I can take these teachings and apply them in real-world scenarios. Furthermore, I'm learning about roles that specialize in specific knowledge in particular which is helping me as I begin the job hunt.”Lia Roudebush
“My biggest takeaway from the Daniels School of Business is the understanding of the importance of recognizing a life-changing opportunity when it is presented to you and pursue it to the fullest.
