FAQ — Purdue
01What is a good Purdue GPA?
A 3.0 cumulative GPA at Purdue is solid — especially in Engineering, where averages run lower than at other Big Ten schools. 3.5+ qualifies for the Semester Honors / Dean’s List. Latin honors at graduation: Cum Laude 3.50+, Magna Cum Laude 3.75+, Summa Cum Laude 3.90+. STEM and business graduate programs typically want 3.3+.
02What is the Purdue Dean’s List requirement?
Semester Honors (Dean’s List) at Purdue requires a 3.5 semester GPA with at least 12 graded credit hours. Distinction is awarded at the school level. Some colleges (Engineering, Pharmacy) have additional rigor requirements about course load and major-specific course distribution.
03How is Purdue’s "graduation index" calculated?
Purdue’s graduation index is the cumulative GPA across all coursework taken at Purdue, weighted by credit hours. Transfer credits earned at another institution before Purdue do not factor into the graduation index. Repeated courses follow Purdue’s grade replacement policy.
04What is the minimum Purdue GPA to stay enrolled?
Undergraduates need a 2.0 cumulative GPA to remain in good academic standing. Sustained GPA below 2.0 leads to academic probation and potentially dismissal. The College of Engineering imposes higher per-major GPA progression requirements (typically 2.0 minimum but with specific course-grade requirements).
