Business Analytics and Information Management
Purdue University in West Lafayette
If you enjoy working with data, and want to use big data systems to improve efficiencies and create value for your company, then Business Analytics and Information Management (BAIM) is for you!
The program was created to prepare highly capable graduates to pursue promising careers in the data-driven economy. BAIM leverages Purdue University’s strengths in STEM and the business school's well-earned reputation in quantitative methods and management information systems.
As a BAIM major, you will learn how to query and manipulate data to translate analytic insights into business values. Currently, there is a gap in the business world: data scientists with technical training focus on perfecting their analytics models, but are unable to effectively communicate how data can help solve complex business problems. This cross-discipline major will teach you how to bridge that gap. Want to help a major retailer use the behavior data of their customers? How about aiding a global supply chain by using GPS transportation data and weather data?
Daniels School of Business faculty emphasize analytics fluency; data management; computer programming skills and familiarity with software tools; communication and visualization skills; and industry-specific knowledge and analytics models.
Meet our Students: Erin Brown
As a Business Analytics and Information Management major, Erin Brown’s classes focus on data. This is beneficial for her, as data-driven solutions are the future. Her courses also taught her technical and interpersonal skills, which prepared her to be successful in her internships and her professional career following graduation.
Through networking and being open to learning new things, Erin landed her first internship as a data analyst intern at Textron Aviation. She got a glimpse of what data analytics looked like beyond the classroom. She then had the opportunity to be a business analyst intern at Corteva Agriscience, which provided her with a new mindset about what she wanted her future to look like. Erin’s experiences both inside and outside the classroom prepared her to join her full-time role as an information and digital solutions analyst at Eli Lilly.
