The demands of World War II prompted the birth of Purdue University Calumet. Technical classes were offered to Calumet Region plant workers as part of a national defense training program in cooperation with the federal government. When the war ended in 1945, Purdue decided to continue its presence in Northwest Indiana. Purdue credit courses were introduced Feb. 25, 1946.
