I’ve been able to build those connections with professors and talk with them one-on-one about class and my career. I loved having the opportunity to go to office hours for help with assignments and having them recognize me.
When I came to PNW for the very first time on a campus visit, I already knew this was going to be my home. I will be the best that I can be because I am a product of PNW.
At Purdue Northwest, the class sizes are small enough that I was able to get to know my professors. They are willing to invest in you, in your success—you’re not just a number to them.
PNW has helped me grow in my field in so many ways. The COB professors have so many awesome connections and are always willing to help you out!
I realized it [the program] was definitely where I wanted to go. It didn’t seem like a place where people got lost.
