In addition to considering high school courses, Purdue will continue to use other factors such as grade point average, class rank, trends in achievement, honors courses, and test scores when reviewing application for admissions. We will evaluate applicants on an individual basis and in relation to their requested majors. Program limitations also will continue to be a factor in admission to certain majors. All students should complete a strong academic curriculum in high school that will prepare them for the rigors of their college experience, and we encourage you to consider earning the Academic Honors Diploma. To qualify for admission, transfer students must meet high school and college subject matter requirements and have at least a strong C average in college.
Several programs require higher grade point averages.
Grade point averages differ for programs in the Schools of Engineering, which overall require a strong B average and completion of the Freshman Engineering sequence equivalent.
