Before You Apply

As a Mastodon, you’ll earn a prestigious Purdue University degree on your terms. How? Flexible class schedules, an array of minors and certificates to choose from that will enhance your education, and opportunities for internships and co-ops (many of them paid) that offer real-world experience. The Herd takes pride in supporting all students, so you can count on having the guidance and help you need with every step you take toward graduation.

One of the most common questions transfer students have is how earned credits will transfer to Purdue Fort Wayne. In general, your credits will transfer if you earned them

1. at a regionally accredited postsecondary institution,

2. in college-level courses (not remedial or ESL), and

3. while achieving a grade of at least C−.

As a transfer student, you must have an overall GPA of 2.0 (on a 4.0 scale) from the college you attended most recently to qualify for admission to Purdue Fort Wayne. Application of transfer credits toward graduation will vary by major, and our academic departments will determine course equivalencies.
