Purdue University is looking to take a bite out of the Big Apple.
The office of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has asked the university to consider developing a research campus in the city focused on applied science, engineering and commercialization.
If successful, in just a few years Purdue could have a presence in the most populous city in the country, offering graduate programs.
"New York City is apparently interested in something Indiana already has with Purdue -- a center for science and engineering innovation," Purdue President France Córdova said Monday during a Faculty Senate meeting on the West Lafayette campus. "Purdue is one of a select few institutions that New York City officials are talking to about creating a high-profile branch campus in New York City. There are potential benefits to Purdue and Indiana that could come from having a location in the global capital of financial and international affairs."
