Integrated Business and Engineering Residential Program
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.
For specific information regarding the IBE LC, please email businessundergrad@purdue.edu.
Eligibility
- First-time IBE students who have been admitted into the IBE degree program in the Mitch Daniels School of Business
Residential Component
- Students will indicate interest in Learning Communities (LCs) and apply during their housing application process. Students will be informed of the status of their LC application in mid-May.
- Roommate selection will occur after LC decisions have been made. If admitted to an LC, students will need to match with other student(s) admitted to the same LC. If not selected for an LC, the student's original housing preferences will be considered during general housing placement and the student will be able to roommate match with other general housing students.
- The location of LC housing will be determined based on the incoming class size and the needs of the learning community.
- For specific question regarding learning communities, email learningcommunities@purdue.edu.
- If you have questions about housing, contact University Residences (https://www.housing.purdue.edu/) at housing@purdue.edu.
