The amount of students that tell me that I made a difference in their education is definitely undoubtedly the most rewarding achievement mentally to me as a tutor…

I’ve met a lot of amazing people and have had a lot of great experiences at PNW, and I’m very happy I chose to come here.

I chose to attend PNW for the opportunity to play soccer at the Division II level and because of the course catalog of Computer Science.

Take the opportunities that are given to you. Don’t be afraid of them. There are a lot of opportunities and room for growth at PNW, so embrace it and try new things and see where you fit in the most.

I chose PNW because of the top tier engineering program that they offered, and it allowed me to not only get an education but also work throughout my time there.

Attending Purdue Northwest may have been a practical decision, but during my attendance, I found experiences I wouldn’t have found elsewhere.
Adam Kerr, BS Computer Science, May 2007

PNW provided me with a strong science foundation. I was able to build a relationship with many of the faculty and staff. They taught me leadership and allowed me to grow as an individual.

PNW provides a quality education to its students and unique opportunities to better themselves. As a senior, I am thankful for the years that I’ve spent here at PNW and for the quality faculty and students that I have come to know.
Regan Sink
Electrical Engineering, ’21

I came to PNW because it was close to home, beautiful campus and small class sizes. I stayed at PNW because of the amazing professors and close bonds created with my cohorts.
Val Kesler
Mechanical Engineering, ’12

I chose Purdue University Northwest because it is a nationally-ranked engineering program and because they believed in me.
Rachel Mok, Ph.D.
BSME, May 2011
MS, Mechanical Engineering, MIT, June 2013
Ph.D., Mechanical Engineering, MIT, June 2019

PNW prepared me not only for my doctoral studies but also for my future career in the industry. I developed research skills and improved my ability to solve realistic problems that are faced by engineers and managers in the industry.
Hugo Cedeno
Ph.D., Civil Engineering and Computational Science, Fall ’20

I came into college with barely any knowledge on what computer science truly was and have thrived.
