Purdue University is a public university system in the U.S. state of Indiana. A land-grant university, its main campus is in West Lafayette. With nearly 75,000 students, it is one of the largest university systems in the United States and includes four campuses, a statewide technology program, extension centers and continuing education programs. The main campus of Purdue University is noted for its engineering, agriculture, and business administration programs, which consistently rank among the best in the country and the world.
Purdue University’s main and largest campus is located in West Lafayette, Indiana on the banks of the Wabash River. This main campus anchors the Purdue system statewide, which comprises regional campuses, satellite technology-training centers, and county agricultural extension offices.
Purdue University formerly operated two regional campuses, Purdue Calumet in Hammond and Purdue North Central near Westville. In 2016 Purdue combined the curriculum for its two regional campuses and now house it under one name: Purdue University Northwest (PNW). PNW runs two campuses in Northwest Indiana. Purdue also jointly operates three campuses with Indiana University: IPFW in Fort Wayne, IUPUI in Indianapolis, and IUPUC in Columbus. Of these joint campuses, two are semi-autonomous (including independent control of their own academic curricula) and degree-granting in over 175 programs each: IPFW (which is budgetarily administered under the auspices of Purdue University) and IUPUI (which is integrated into Indiana University's budget). IU-PU Columbus is a regional campus, similar to Purdue Northwest, but administered through IUPUI.
