We offer degree programs in twelve academic schools, which offer approximately 200 majors. Each school offers its own academic honors program . Class sizes vary. English composition classes usually are limited to about 25 students. Foreign language classes average about 30 students.
Class sizes become smaller as students move farther along in their majors.
Around 87 percent of those students actually return after their first year. Preprofessional programs include premedicine, predentistry, preveterinary medicine, prelaw, and prephysical and occupational therapy. In these programs, students usually choose a related major and work with an academic advisor to help prepare them for professional school. The schools of Agriculture , Consumer and Family Sciences , Engineering , Health Sciences , Liberal Arts , Management , and Science all offer preprofessional programs. Through our comprehensive study abroad program , students have the opportunity to study in many different countries and receive Purdue course credits.
