Purdue Global undergraduate and graduate programs follow 10-week terms.

Courses are divided into one-week units. During each unit, students are expected to participate in class discussions, take quizzes, and submit at least one paper. Some courses have real-time learning experiences, called seminars, which happen at the same time for all students in a section. Professors will also hold optional online office hours at designated times.

We estimate that students enrolled in 10-week terms require a minimum of 15 to 18 hours per week per course. This includes time spent in the online classroom and studying offline. Advanced courses may require additional study time.

Purdue Global students receive personal academic support from day one to graduation.

Student Advisors offer degree planning assistance, provide access to resources and academic tools, and help you stay on track to graduation.

Our Writing Center, Math Center, Technology Center, and Science Center provide subject-specific assistance, including free live tutoring, workshops, and self-paced tutorials.

If you have any prior credits or degrees, inform your Admissions Advisor when you speak to them and provide your unofficial transcripts (official transcripts will be sent directly from the prior school to Purdue Global within the first term). Your Admissions Advisor can request an unofficial mapping of your prior credits to the degree you would like to obtain. An official review will be completed within your first term, when official transcripts are received.

In addition, Purdue Global does articulate some industry certifications, so be sure to provide your Advisor with that information upon enrollment. 

To enroll and participate in classes online, you must use a desktop computer or laptop (PC or Mac) with at least 8 GB of random access memory (RAM) and 120 GB of free hard-drive space (additional space may be needed for course-related files).

Because online learning tools at Purdue Global are mobile responsive, students may use mobile devices such as tablets (e.g., iPads), mobile phones, and notebook computers (e.g., Chromebooks) to perform some academic activities and thereby supplement the use of a desktop computer or laptop. However, a desktop computer or laptop must remain your primary device for studies at Purdue Global.

A high-speed internet connection with a minimum bandwidth of 8 Mbps upload/download speed is also necessary. Please refer to our website for additional software requirements.
