Founded in 1869, Purdue University is set on beautiful campus grounds in West Lafayette. The university specializes in pharmacy, veterinary and medicine with over 200 undergraduate programs and almost 70 masters and doctoral programs.
Learn about campus life, student services, and facilities on a scheduled walking tour led by knowledgeable staff or take a self-guided tour. Venture through the “Gateway to the Future” arch, then make a wish at the Purdue Mall Fountain and enjoy a meal at Purdue Memorial Union.
