Admission Requirements
1. Candidates who join this program must apply to and be officially admitted by both institutions into their respective Master of Science or Master of Business Administration programs and be registered with both Purdue and NCCU.
2. Students admitted to the Program shall meet both NCCU and Purdue admission standards. NCCU will conduct the pre-screening of applicants according to their written or oral exams. NCCU will then recommend selected students to Purdue at least three (3) months before the start of their intended enrollment at Purdue. These students must apply to Purdue for admission according to the following admission criteria, and Purdue will make the final admission decisions. These criteria are subject to change.
- Applicants are required to submit official English proficiency and GMAT (or GRE) examination results as required by Purdue for admission consideration. The minimum TOEFL currently required by the Purdue Graduate School is 80 with required minimums on each of the subtests (higher than 93 is recommended for the MS-Global Supply Chain Management ). Purdue will also accept an IELTS score of 6.5 or higher with minimum subsection scores as well.
- Applicants will submit online applications to Purdue University Graduate School.
- Upon receiving recommendations from NCCU, Purdue will make admission recommendations within 20 business days to the Purdue University Graduate School. The information will then be provided to Purdue’s Office of International Students and Scholars to process necessary forms for visa application to the United States.
Note:
- There is no minimum for GMAT scores – the decision is more holistic based on a number of factors considered together. This web page indicates the averages for each program, not the minimum.
- Here is the link from the graduate school about the required minimums on each of the subtests of TOEFL and IELTS for admission by the graduate school. The standard for Michell E. Daniels, Jr. may be higher and it will vary by program. Michell E. Daniels, Jr. also tends to conduct an interview to determine English competency in addition to the TOEFL.
Number of Seats
NCCU will provide Purdue with a forecast of the number of students planning to participate in the dual degree program in October and Purdue will certify that the spaces are available for the students within two weeks of receiving the forecast.
