International Applicants

The following is additional admissions information specifically for international applicants to Purdue University's Executive MBA Program.

Review your current/previous academic institution’s country for a listing of required admission documents per Purdue University Graduate School Requirements.

Transcripts

Transcripts must indicate “grades earned” for all courses taken. Original language transcripts must be supplied as well as certified English translations of those transcripts.

Photocopies of transcripts are not acceptable unless they bear the original signature of the registrar, dean, or equivalent institution official.

Transcripts must indicate the date of graduation and the degree conferred; if they do not, an official or certified diploma in the original language and a certified English translation of that diploma are required.

A bachelor’s degree, or its equivalent, equal to four years of study, is required.

Language Proficiency

English language proficiency can be established through a 30-minute virtual discussion or standard test. To arrange a Zoom discussion, please contact us at krannertexec@purdue.edu.

If taking a standardized test, we accept the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) for Purdue University Graduate School admission. If you have already taken one of these tests, you are encouraged to submit your results with your application even if you opt for the virtual discussion.

We do accept Duolingo English test scores to meet English proficiency requirements. The Purdue Graduate School requires total score of 115 as well as 115 on each subsection for admission. Krannert prefers a total score of 125 and prefers a score 125 on each subsection.

Application Deadlines

There are no special deadlines for international applicants. Please find application deadlines here.

Visas

For residencies held at Purdue, international students who require a visa to enter the U.S. will apply for a B-Visa.

Purdue University’s Executive Education Team will issue an invitation letter and students in turn will use the letter to apply for the B-Visa and also show the U.S. Port of Entry office at the airport.

For residencies held outside the U.S., policies vary for each individual student based on their citizenship, residence and employment status.

For international citizens living/working in the U.S., you will need to apply for visas according to the country of origin and the passport you carry.

Each student is responsible for determining exactly what visa policies correspond with their individual circumstance.
