* IUPUI courses ENGR 19500 and ENGR 19600 at IUPUI Indianapolis are considered equivalent to ENGR 10000 and ENGR 12600 at Purdue West Lafayette. These IUPUI courses also satisfy the Purdue West Lafayette ENGR 13100 and ENGR 13200 requirements of biomedical engineering. Students from other Indiana institutions will not be considered for admission to engineering programs that are closed to transfer students. Visit the Closed Programs page for more information.
