Purdue's Undergraduates

Purdue Engineering undergraduate programs consistently rank high among their national peers. In the U.S. News & World Report survey “Best Engineering Schools 2025,” Purdue's College of Engineering ranked 8th nationally.

In the same rankings, seven schools are in the top 10: Industrial Engineering (#2), Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering (#3), Civil Engineering (#3), Agricultural and Biological Engineering (#4), Mechanical Engineering (#7), Computer Engineering (#10) and Materials Engineering (#10).

In May 2022, Purdue launched the nation's first comprehensive Semiconductor Degrees program—just one part of the College of Engineering's plan to educate the next generation of workforce leaders in semiconductors and microelectronics.

The College of Engineering is made up of 11 schools, one division, and one department: aeronautics and astronautics, agricultural and biological, biomedical, chemical, civil & construction engineering, computer science, electrical and computer, engineering education, industrial, materials, mechanical, nuclear, and environmental and ecological engineering.

Also, the college houses programs such as Purdue Engineering Online, EPICS (Engineering Projects in Community Service), the Minority Engineering Program, the Women in Engineering Program, and Global Engineering Programs and Partnerships.
