Purdue University

At Purdue University, we are persistent in our pursuit of the next giant leap. And we’ll make sure you never take a small step alone. Join us to discover the Boilermaker story and the history, traditions and achievements that make Purdue “one of the most innovative, progressive higher-education institutions in the country.” 

Since Purdue’s founding in 1898, generations of Boilermakers have left their mark, and today, we continue in those innovative footsteps. As Indiana’s land-grant university, we leave nothing untested, nothing untried and nothing undone as we serve the state of Indiana, the nation and the world. 

Purdue offers a transformative education with more than 200 areas of undergraduate study and renowned research initiatives. 

We’re building a better world together, and we’re having fun while we’re at it. Whether we’re landing the first man on the moon, freezing tuition for a decade or opening our own high schools, we’re persistently pursuing the next giant leap.
