We’re Reimagining the Retail Experience
More than products, retail is purpose, people, and progress.
At the Terry J. Lundgren Center, students don’t just learn about retail, they experience it. Join a community where innovation meets experience, and help shape the future of consumer culture.
NielsenIQ Micro-Credential
The NielsenIQ Retail Measurement Systems Microcredential is a 100% online certification that teaches you how to analyze real retail data and turn it into actionable insights. Through six self-paced modules, you learn industry-standard skills in sales, market share, pricing, promotions, and category performance using the same tools trusted by major retailers like Target and Walmart. With hands-on exercises and a final exam, this credential shows you’re job-ready for roles in merchandising, category management, buying, marketing, e-commerce, and retail operations. It takes about 10 hours to complete and never expires.

Preparing Tomorrow's Retail Leaders
Since 1993, the Terry J. Lundgren Center for Retailing at the Norton School of Human Ecology has brought together the resources and expertise of academia and the retailing industry with a shared goal of developing strong future retail professionals. The Center's professional development and hands-on learning opportunities ensure that the retailing and consumer sciences students and those from other programs from across campus, have the skill set, training, and expertise to lead and thrive in a competitive marketplace. Supported by major retailing, technology and consulting partners, the Center incorporates the ideas and innovation that help to inspire the next generation of retail experts – our Future Retail Leaders.
No other Center compares in its efforts to expand its educational reach to industry leadership through such interactive experiences as Student Global and Executive Education, where the industry’s top executives and leading minds connect. We are also now offering students access to the NielsenIQ Micro-Credential, a recognized certification in retail measurement and data analytics.
