About the Program
Pre-ABE is an alternative to First Year Engineering. The required classes are identical to First Year Engineering requirements. Because of our ties to Agriculture, we have the ability to have engineering students join our program as freshmen. Some of the advantages of coming through Pre-ABE:
- Start in the program you plan to join,
- Be connected from the start - so you know when companies that hire our students will be providing information sessions, etc.
- More likely to receive scholarships from the College of Agriculture
Upon successful completion of the one year Pre-Agricultural and Biological Engineering curriculum students can move to their professional program of choice within Agricultural and Biological Engineering.
Some of the factors that contribute to Agricultural & Biological Engineering at Purdue University being a top ranked program:
- Multiple opportunities for interaction with faculty in laboratories and in classes
- Student Competitions, Clubs, Global Experiences
- Personalized advising and attention from faculty
- Practical curriculum for industrial careers
- Great opportunities for internships and undergraduate research.
- Numerous departmental scholarships
- Excellent placement record and starting salaries

- Earning a passing grade for one of these approved courses (or transferring in approved AP or departmental credit in lieu of taking a course).
Upper Level Requirement
- Resident study at Purdue University for at least two semesters and the enrollment in and completion of at least 32 semester hours of coursework required and approved for the completion of the degree. These courses are expected to be at least junior-level (30000+) courses.
- Students should be able to fulfill most, if not all, of these credits within their major requirements; there should be a clear pathway for students to complete any credits not completed within their major.
Notes
- Students pursuing Biological Engineering majors should take CHM 11600. Students pursuing Agricultural Engineering or Environmental and Natural Resources Engineering majors may take CHM 11600 or CS 15900 or CS 17700.
- Students must earn a C- or better in all courses used to fulfill the above requirements if the grade is posted to the Purdue transcript, with the exception of the Human Culture Humanities Selective.
