Purdue University in Indianapolis is an extension campus of Purdue University's West Lafayette main campus in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Contents

History

The campus was formed on July 1, 2024, following the splitting of Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) into Indiana University Indianapolis (IUI) and Purdue University in Indianapolis. It inherited the former IUPUI School of Engineering and Technology and the computer science program within the former IUPUI School of Science. All other academic progams, including the athletic program, became part of IU Indianapolis. Purdue plans to expand its academic offerings beyond those. [1] [2]

Operation

As a fully-integrated extension campus, students are admitted to Purdue University as a whole, and can choose to spend each semester either at Purdue's main campus in West Lafayette, Indiana, or at the Indianapolis campus. A goal of the split is to increase the retention of students in Indiana after graduation. [3]

Campus

Purdue's Indianapolis campus is a 21-acre (8.5 ha) plot that was formerly the northeastern-most portion of IUPUI's campus, bordered by Michigan Street, West Street, and Indiana Avenue in downtown Indianapolis. [3] Purdue also initially leased five academic buildings and part of a dormitory from IUI. [4]
