Additional Information


  • The Robotics/Interdisciplinary Engineering graduate program operates in the Professional Master's Program category at Purdue University. This on-campus program emphasizes preparation for an industry career as a technical leader, and thus is a non-research, non-thesis program. Robotics/Interdisciplinary Engineering is designed for early-career engineers and students joining directly from a bachelor program.
