Purdue University fields a women's soccer team in the Big Ten Conference (NCAA Division I). In 2024–25 the roster carried 36 players, above the median of 31, with 1 head coach and 3 assistants. Team expenses were $2,222,579, well above the median of $1.2M — $61,738 per roster spot, top quarter of Division I women's soccer programs.

The school gave $4,937,179 in athletic aid across its women's teams, about $17,262 per roster spot.
