Integrated Business and Engineering invites you to apply to be part of a living learning community that explores multidisciplinary approaches to solving complex problems that are at the intersection of engineering and business. Students in IBE will build soft skills with their learning community peers, become aware of how solving wicked problems requires cross-functional frameworks, and effectively communicate among multiple disciplines. We invite you to also become a part of the living learning community as an opportunity to enhance your Purdue network. Common interests will allow you to build friendships to carry with you through your time as an undergraduate student and beyond.


Note: All first-year IBE students will automatically be enrolled in the IBE learning community. The residential living and learning community program is for IBE participants who wish to live with the learning community.
