4 programmes,
career-ready by design
Online Master of Business Administration (OMBA)
Your career goals are unique, and your MBA should be too. The OMBA, ranked #7 best online MBA in North America (CEO Magazine, 2025), #4 best affordable online MBA in the US (Forbes, 2025), and #15 best online MBA in the US (The Princeton Review, 2025), lets you customise your learning with courses aligned with your goals. Alongside a business foundation, you can specialise in one of ten high-demand areas, including business analytics, machine learning and AI, and digital marketing and analytics. You'll leave ready to make data-informed decisions that create lasting business value. What’s more, earning an MBA while working is now more affordable. With new, lower programme rates, the OMBA “reflects the university’s long-term investment in online graduate education and dedication to excellence and value at scale,” shares Jim Bullard, the Dr. Samuel R. Allen Dean of the Mitch Daniels School of Business.
Online Master of Science in Business Analytics (OMSBA)
Every business generates data. The challenge is knowing what to do with it, which is why professionals who can uncover the right insights have become indispensable. The OMSBA helps you build those skills. Its curriculum combines analytical thinking with technological expertise, teaching you to solve business problems, identify trends and mitigate risks. You can apply what you learn by taking part in optional in-person development courses, attending regional networking events, or collaborating with the Krenicki Centre for Business Analytics and Machine Learning. It's an approach that has earned the programme recognition as the #12 online master's programme in the US (University Headquarters, 2025) and one the 20 best online Master's in Business Analytics (Intelligent.com, 2024).
Online Master of Science in Economics (OMSEcon)
The OMSEcon combines economics with analytics to help you develop the skills employers are looking for. Choose from three specialisations — Financial Economics, Business & Economics Data Analytics, and Public Economics & Policy — while exploring econometrics, big data, business forecasting, game theory, experimental economics, and machine learning applications, as well as industry-standard tools like Stata, MATLAB, EViews, and Python.
Online Master of Science in Global Supply Chain Management (OMSGSCM)
Want to build a career at the forefront of global supply chains? The OMSGSCM gives you the skills to make it happen. “The programme is aligned with emerging industry trends and courses are taught by supply chain experts,” shares Amy David, Clinical Assistant Professor of Management, Supply Chain and Operations Management. “It also offers different paths of focus, with courses emphasising the technical and analytical aspects of supply chain as well as classes for those inclined toward leadership.”
Build your career with confidence
Purdue's Mitch Daniels School of Business just lowered tuition for its online MBA starting fall 2025. As such, you’ll get the same ranked degree with the same rigorous curriculum, at a cost that puts ROI within reach sooner than you'd expect.
The programme is designed around your life, not the other way around. You’ll study fully online at your own pace, choosing a focus area that fits where you want to take your career. A dedicated career coach works with you one-on-one to make sure the degree actually moves the needle. That combination of flexibility and structure is exactly why graduates report earning an average US$25,000 more in salary after completing the programme, with over half stepping into roles with greater responsibility.
That kind of career outcome is what Purdue is aiming to support with this new pricing model.
Hear from the students
“It felt great completing this programme; it helped me bridge all the gaps where I felt I needed to grow. I leveraged every course, focusing on different perspectives each semester. This approach, combined with the programme's flexibility, gave me a comprehensive understanding of how data analytics intersects with various business functions. I also got to interact with MBA students, where I met colleagues who were vice presidents or senior managers — positions I’m working toward myself. Talking to them gave me valuable insights into what they do in their organisations, and that really made an impact on me.”
