Purdue University is a public university located in West Lafayette, Tippecanoe County, Indiana, USA.

It was founded on 6 May 1869 and in 2012 had over 39,000 students. It is known as the "Cradle of Astronauts" for having trained twenty-two future astronauts, including Neil Armstrong and Eugene Cernan. Many of the CEOs of Forbes 500 companies also graduated from Purdue University.

Platform

Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of California, Berkeley, are just some of the schools that you have at your fingertips with EdX. Through massive open online courses (MOOCs) from the world's best universities, you can develop your knowledge in literature, math, history, food and nutrition, and more. These online classes are taught by highly-regarded experts in the field. If you take a class on computer science through Harvard, you may be taught by David J. Malan, a senior lecturer on computer science at Harvard University for the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. But there's not just one professor - you have access to the entire teaching staff, allowing you to receive feedback on assignments straight from the experts. Pursue a Verified Certificate to document your achievements and use your coursework for job and school applications, promotions, and more. EdX also works with top universities to conduct research, allowing them to learn more about learning. Using their findings, edX is able to provide students with the best and most effective courses, constantly enhancing the student experience.
