About Us
The Dr. Cornell A. Bell Business Opportunity Program is a nationally recognized program dedicated to recruiting, educating and empowering the next generation of business leaders.
Who We Are
The Dr. Cornell A. Bell Business Opportunity Program (BOP) helps students build the foundation they need to succeed at the Daniels School of Business and beyond. As part of Boilermaker Opportunity Program Plus, BOP supports students through programs that range from immersive pre-college experiences to year-round academic, professional and community-focused opportunities. Along the way, students gain access to a supportive network of peers, mentors and alumni who help them navigate Purdue and prepare for what’s next. Together, these experiences help students build the confidence, skills and relationships to lead.
Our Purpose
For more than 50 years, BOP has helped students navigate the transition to college and take advantage of the opportunities available to them at Purdue. Our program builds on that legacy by connecting a broader population of students with the support, community and opportunities that can help them thrive. Today, BOP welcomes all incoming business students who are ready to challenge themselves, grow as leaders and make the most of their Daniels School experience.
