Be More Than Just a Number

We care about our students, and we've created a number of initiatives to support your success. These include:

The Bridge Program

Bridge is a two-week summer residential course designed for incoming freshmen with little or no programming experience. Covering 70 percent of your first semester in CS 180, Bridge will get you up to speed in programming as you prepare to launch your Purdue career.

CS 180 Black and Gold

We've taken steps to ensure that you'll succeed in your first programming class. CS 180 is divided into two sections: one for students who have programming experience, and one for those who don't. You’ll learn with peers at the same level as you, and you won’t feel lost or bored.
