Introducing Purdue University in Indianapolis!
Purdue University in Indianapolis
- Purdue University in Indianapolis serves as Purdue's first comprehensive urban location. With this new location, we are thrilled to position our students, faculty, and staff in close proximity to top businesses and leading industries, providing many new and unique learning opportunities. For the most up-to-date information, please visit our Purdue in Indianapolis website.
Application process: There is not a separate application for Purdue University in Indianapolis. When students select Purdue University via the Common Application, the opportunity to apply to either or both locations is embedded in the process. When students select a college and major, they will have the opportunity to apply to the location(s) offering that specific major. An exciting opportunity for Purdue in Indianapolis applicants is the ability to apply for direct admission into the 5 engineering majors offered in Indianapolis. Prospective students in Indianapolis can expect the same admissions standards as those at Purdue University in West Lafayette.
Location changes: In the short term, students will take all coursework at their chosen home location. This means that Purdue University in Indianapolis students will most likely take some coursework through Indiana University Indianapolis. Students wanting to change their home location at the end of an academic term will have an opportunity to make this request, however, there are no guarantees that available space will allow this request to be honored.
