Cost Overview
Most families pay far less than Purdue's $28,794 out-of-state sticker price. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $4,927 per year after aid, while those from $75,000-$110,000 households pay $18,919 annually. Over four years, that ranges from about $20,000 to $76,000 total. In-state students get the best baseline deal at $9,992 before aid kicks in.
Graduates leave with a median debt of $19,500, which translates to monthly payments of $207. That's manageable when you consider Purdue engineering grads earn a median $61,124 in their first year out. The engineering focus means most students land jobs quickly (96.4% employment rate) with strong starting salaries. Indiana residents from lower-income families get the sweetest deal here, attending one of the country's top engineering schools for community college prices.
