Purdue: An International University
Welcome to Purdue University! As an international student, you are an important part of our campus family. You bring a unique perspective to share. Our goal is to encourage every student to think globally, appreciate diversity and learn how education can foster global understanding. Your insights can give those you meet a new appreciation of global challenges, competition and societal needs.
You have chosen Purdue because you recognize the academic and research excellence of this University. You are not alone. Last fall, Purdue ranked second in international student enrollment among all public colleges and universities in the United States. We are proud of our outstanding reputation and the rich diversity of our student body.
I know I speak for all of our faculty, administration and staff when I say we are honored that you have chosen Purdue as the university where you will pursue your studies. We look forward to helping you achieve and exceed your goals.
