The Charles D. Davidson School of Chemical Engineering has spent over a century educating future leaders. And with experience comes prestige — it’s renowned for its groundbreaking research, industry-aligned programs, and exceptional graduate outcomes. Today, it is home to over 800 students and more than 40 faculty members — all of whom are redefining industries through pioneering research.

Welcome to EU Business School

PREPARING STUDENTS TO MEET INDUSTRY AND SOCIETAL NEEDS

Purdue continues to innovate its graduate offerings to stay ahead of the evolving demands of the chemical engineering profession. The Pharmaceutical Engineering Concentration is a prime example. Delivered from Indianapolis, this program focuses on pharmaceutical compound manufacturing and advancing healthcare engineering strategies. It addresses critical challenges in pharmaceutical production and workforce development at local, regional, and national levels.

 
The School of Chemical Engineering will also revolutionize PhD research with newly launched Research Area Endowments, which empower faculty to pursue bold and innovative initiatives. Five of the first ten endowments include Soft Materials, Separations Research, Mathematical Modeling, Process Systems Engineering and Catalysis and Reaction Engineering.

Founded in 1973EU Business School stands out for blending Swiss academic excellence with a global outlook. Today, it holds a four-star rating from QS Stars and this quality is evident across the school’s lineup of English-taught bachelor’s programmes offeredon its campuses in Barcelona, Geneva, and Munich, and through its Digital Campus.
