Purdue IBE — Employer List

Companies that Purdue's Mitch Daniels School of Business names as placing Integrated Business & Engineering (IBE) students in internship roles. IBE is a 4-year dual business/engineering major, so this list spans all class years by design — it is not itself a freshman/sophomore eligibility claim. Each company below was individually checked against its own official careers page for an underclassman-eligible track.

Source: Purdue Daniels School of Business, Integrated Business & Engineering 2024 Annual Report (purdue.university/ibe) — its "Career Services & Outcomes" page names these 15 companies as filling "internship roles in project management, technical sales, data analytics, operations, supply chain, manufacturing/quality engineering and more." That page does not say which of these accept freshmen or sophomores specifically — I checked each one's own official careers page separately for that.

Bottom line: of the 15 companies IBE names, 4 have a confirmed freshman/sophomore-eligible path — Caterpillar and Deloitte openly, Dell and PwC restricted to underrepresented/veteran/disability applicants. The other 11 aren't ruled out — most just don't publish clear eligibility language, and a couple of the "UNCONFIRMED" official career pages actively blocked automated access. Worth checking directly if you're an IBE student with an existing recruiting relationship at one of those firms.
