Hey guys, I was just looking into Purdue and I'm curious about the male to female ratio there. I’d really appreciate it if someone could give me some details about the school's demographics. Thanks!
Hey there! Purdue University's male to female ratio has been relatively stable over the past few years. As of Fall 2023, the ratio was around 58% male to 42% female for undergraduate students. This breakdown can vary quite a bit within specific colleges and programs at Purdue. For instance, engineering and computer science programs typically have significantly more males than females, while disciplines like liberal arts and nursing may have a more balanced or even reversed ratio.
While the overall male to female ratio might be useful as a general reference, it's important to remember that your personal experience will also be shaped by the specific programs you participate in, clubs and organizations you join, and the friendships you develop. Purdue is a large, diverse university with many opportunities to find a community that suits your interests and preferences.
I hope this information helps you get a better understanding of Purdue's demographics. Good luck with your application process!
