For all Purdue Online programs, you’ll go through the same aid process and have similar options for aid as do other students. If you are a degree-seeking student and meet financial aid citizenship requirements, you may be eligible for the Stafford and/or Grad PLUS Loan programs. To be considered for these, be sure to complete your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and that you are enrolled at least half time. Explore these loan options. 

As a Purdue graduate student, you will be taking classes in an online environment. Instructors provide material, lectures, tests and assignments that can be accessed at any time. Your lectures are not time-restricted, meaning you don’t need to be logged in to view your course material at a specific time. However, all of your course activities, assignments, and exams must be completed by their respective due dates. You will need to view course lectures regularly to keep current. 

Students are graded based on their performance in class. The courses we offer online will have various methods for grading depending on the specific requirements for a given class. Students can expect to experience any combination of homework, graded exam, final project, group work or graded reports. Learn more about the Purdue Grading Scale​. 

Yes, a limited number of graduate-level credit hours may be considered eligible for transfer if they fit within the current curriculum, have not been used towards another awarded degree, and received a B or better. Course transfers will be reviewed on a semester basis as determined by the department. To have courses reviewed for transfer, we will need an official transcript, the course name/number you wish to transfer, and the course description. 

No, the GRE or GMAT are not required. The Admission Committee reviews all other admission materials submitted to determine an admission decision.
