  • Purdue University 普渡大學
    Purdue University 普渡大學 Overview Purdue University's West Lafayette, Indiana, campus is the main campus in the Purdue University system, which encompasses four other campuses throughout the state. Nearly 20 percent of students are affiliated with Greek life, and Purdue offers a wide range of activities and organizations. Performance groups include the "All American" Marching Band, four jazz bands and two symphony orchestras. The Boilermakers, Purdue’s athletic teams, compete in the Division I Big Ten Conference and are well known for their dominant men’s and women’s basketball teams. The Boilermaker Special, Purdue’s official mascot, is a railroad locomotive cared for and maintained by the student-run Purdue Reamer Club. Although no students are required to live in university housing, about one-third of undergraduates live on campus. Purdue is made up of 12 schools and colleges, many of which serve both undergraduate and graduate students. Professional and graduate programs include the well-ranked College of Engineering, Krannert School of Management, College of Education and College of Pharmacy. Purdue’s esteemed School of Aeronautics and Astronautics within the College of Engineering has acquired the nickname "Cradle of Astronauts." One popular university tradition: many students mark the beginning and end of their time at Purdue by running through either of the campus fountains. Notable alumni include legendary college basketball coach and player John Wooden, popcorn entrepreneur Orville Redenbacher and the first man to walk on the moon, Neil Armstrong. Academic Life The student-faculty ratio at Purdue University--West Lafayette is 12:1, and the school has 39.6 percent of its classes with fewer than 20 students.

  • Purdue University Narratives for 2015-2017 Operating and Capital Budget Request
    Purdue University Narratives for 2015-2017 Operating and Capital Budget Request Purdue University West Lafayette One hundred and forty years ago, five years after its founding as Indiana's land-grant university, the first 39 students enrolled in classes at Purdue University. Since then, the institution has educated thousands of Hoosiers, and brought thousands more to live and invest their lives in the state of Indiana. At perhaps no other moment in history has Purdue been more focused on aggressive action to benefit the state, Hoosier students and Indiana families. Through a series of initiatives known as the Purdue Moves, the university is poised to offer higher education at the highest proven value. Through these initiatives, the campus is finding efficiencies, generating savings, reducing the financial burden on students and investing in areas that are most likely to generate jobs and attract new businesses to the Hoosier economy. The Purdue Moves are West Lafayette’s answer to the changing higher education environment, and they are at the heart of our 2015-17 budget request. These initiatives can be grouped into four areas: STEM Leadership, World Changing Research, Transformative Education, and Affordability and Accessibility. STEM Leadership At least 20 percent of all jobs today require a high-level knowledge in at least one STEM discipline.1 To compete in the future as the U.S. economy becomes even more technology-based, Indiana will need more STEM-trained residents and more STEM employers. To help the state in both the supply and demand sides of its STEM economy, Purdue is committed to the goals of: Expanding engineering student enrollment by about 1,500 graduate and undergraduate students and hiring more than 100 new engineering faculty.
