Institutes & Centers

The University of Dayton School of Business develops tomorrow's leaders with five world-class business centers. We use the actual tools, partner with industry leaders and create real success to supplement the best in academic theory. Quite simply, our students learn business by getting down to it — right from the start.

Business Research Group

Good information is gold. We refine it. Our students get real results — with public sector studies, economic development analysis, business development, market research, focus groups, MIS, usability research and video production — for real business partners.
