Employer and Community Partner Engagement in Indianapolis

Currently, all students pursuing their Purdue education in Indianapolis will be enrolled in Engineering, Technology and/or Science degree programs. The degree programs offered will continue to grow each year. Each student who chooses this unique urban location is supported in participating in multiple meaningful experiential education opportunities. Two priority areas of focus are:

  1. developing relationships with non-profit and business/industry partners for client-based applied projects and
  2. securing internship and co-op partners in the Indianapolis area.

Please reach out to one of the specific programs below or contact the Office of Experiential Education (indyexed@purdue.edu) to determine the best fit for your needs. We have many other experiential education programs available to connect with. To view all the types of experiential education at Purdue, visit About Experiential Education.
