Frequently Asked Questions

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®), JD-Next, or the Purdue Global Law School Admissions Exam, until August 21, 2026, when the Purdue Global Law School exam will be decommissioned. All new students enrolling in January 2027 or later must submit an LSAT, GRE, or JD-Next score.

Purdue Global Law School is accredited by the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California. Due to its accreditation by the Committee of Bar Examiners, Purdue Global Law School has the authority to offer a Juris Doctor degree that qualifies recipients to take the California Bar Examination and obtain admission to the practice of law in California.

Study at, or graduation from, this law school does not qualify graduates to take the bar examination or to satisfy the requirements for admission to practice in jurisdictions other than California, Connecticut, or — with an approved petition — Indiana. Purdue Global Law School cannot guarantee that any individual’s waiver petition will be granted. Graduates who earned their JD degree in 2024 or later are eligible upon graduation to sit for the Connecticut Bar Exam through 2027, at which time Purdue Global Law School will seek renewal. After receiving a law license in California, Connecticut, or Indiana, graduates may also apply to sit for the bar exam in North Carolina and Wisconsin. There may be additional eligibility requirements to be admitted in California or any other state. Refer to Purdue Global’s State Licensure and Certifications page for state-specific requirements.
