Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management Programs

Purdue University’s Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management programs are informed by cutting-edge research on topics that explore how human interactions can contribute to developing and sustaining effective and satisfying workplaces. The Daniels School hosts the Purdue HR Case Competition and Conference, which features corporate sponsors, both a graduate and undergraduate division, and cash prizes. Our programs provide comprehensive curricula and real-world experience through industry projects, mentoring and networking.

We build upon program curricula by offering undergraduates and master's students valuable student employment opportunities at the Daniels School as research assistants, teaching assistants, and more.
