FIRST-GEN
Taking the First Giant Leap.
First-Gen at Purdue University.
First-generation students are defined as those students that come from families where their parents or guardians did not complete a four-year college degree.
Every year, Purdue University welcomes thousands of first-generation college students to campus. In fact, in 2019, over twenty percent of our undergraduate students were first-generation. First-gen students bring unique perspectives and insights, and an ever-changing skillset. At Purdue, we aim to foster those skills.
So, what will your giant leap be?
