Admissions FAQs

Juris Doctor (JD) Program

If you studied at a law school located in the United States, you must have your legal study evaluated and certified by the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California prior to Purdue Global Law School's acceptance and application of those credits into the Juris Doctor program. Evaluation is not needed if transfer credits are California-accredited or ABA-approved for JD.

Executive Juris Doctor (EJD) Program

Acceptance of transfer credits generally requires an agreement with the transferring institution and is subject to review by the Dean's Office. Transfer credits must be from a law school course or from an agreement with the other school in the case of master's, etc.

Purdue Global Law School approved the following admission exams for acceptance: Law School Admission Test (LSAT®), Graduate Record Examinations (GRE®), or JD-Next. All new students enrolling in January 2027 or later must submit an LSAT, GRE, or JD-Next score.

Study at, or graduation from, this law school may qualify graduates to take the bar examination or satisfy the requirements for admission to practice in California, Connecticut, Washington, or — with an approved petition — Indiana. After receiving a law license in one U.S. state (or transferring a qualifying Uniform Bar Exam or NextGen Bar Exam score, as applicable), graduates may also apply to sit for the bar exam in North Carolina and Wisconsin.
