Purdue Partnership Opportunity

Purdue University (“Purdue” or the “University”) is a public research institution leading with excellence at scale. Ranked among top 10 public universities in the United States, Purdue discovers, disseminates and deploys knowledge with quality and expertise second to none. More than 106,000 students study at Purdue across multiple campuses, locations and modalities, including over 57,000 at the main campus locations in West Lafayette and Indianapolis. Purdue’s enrollment has grown 15% over the past five years, demonstrating strong demand for an affordable, high-quality education.

Despite growth, increasing costs, and inflation, the University has upheld a 14-year tuition freeze, reinforcing its longstanding commitment to affordability. This enrollment growth has driven higher parking demand, placing additional pressure on existing parking infrastructure and underscoring the need for thoughtful, long-term planning. Purdue is highly respected as an “R1 – Very high research activity” institution among doctoral-granting universities in the Carnegie Classification of Institutes of Higher Education Ranking.  For more information about Purdue’s strategic initiatives, academics, and research, see here.
