Testimonials
"I chose Purdue because of its 1) high quality faculty committed to a strong graduate program, 2) supportive, energetic atmosphere (the doors of faculty offices are generally left open), 3) unsurpassed assistantship funding, 4) excellent facilities, including student offices and computers, and 5) opportunities to learn from affiliated departments, such as the School of Management."

Since starting in the program, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Any challenges that I have encountered, I have braved through with the help of my fellow classmates and the faculty. I have been made to feel comfortable knocking on any door – no matter what the issue, and this type of environment has made it easy to be a successful student and to hopefully be an asset to the department.

The people at Purdue, especially the Agricultural Economics Department, were truly interested in my success. The open door policy of the faculty and staff made my time at Purdue enjoyable and beneficial.

One of the best parts about being a graduate student in the Ag Econ Department at Purdue is that you are able to meet and befriend people from across the world. The department is very diverse, and that diversity adds a lot to the quality of the program and the friendships you make. It is encouraging to know that as a graduate student, you are working with some of the absolute top professors in this field.

The best part of being a graduate student in the Ag Econ Department is the people you get to work with. As a non-traditional student (older), I was worried about how I would be accepted by the other students, faculty and staff. The people have all been so nice that I can not wait to get to campus every day.

See what culture has done to me. Our professors back home (most of Africa) are considered unreachable in and out of the classroom. I mean every contact is formal. But here I am meeting, talking, discussing with my professors as friends ready to see my success."
