National Football League (NFL) Degree Completion Program

The Athletics Academic Support Staff works with the National Football League (NFL) Continuing Education Program to assist former Purdue University athletes and active NFL players with completing their undergraduate education. Our staff works with the player development staff of each player's NFL team to develop a plan that allows the former Boilermaker to return to school in his franchise city, at Purdue or at an institution near his off-season home. The degree completion plan identifies courses that the player must complete to earn his degree at Purdue and list equivalent courses that a player can take to meet degree requirements.
