The online MBT is a rigorous program that requires a technological mindset. The Daniels School's online programs admissions team will look for evidence of this in your application via previous coursework or work experience. If you feel that you do not have sufficient evidence in your background to demonstrate this aptitude, you may want to consider submitting a GMAT or GRE score to enhance your application. The GMAT or GRE is not required for admission to the online MBT.
The academic statement of purpose should not exceed two pages in length addressing the following prompts:
Required of all applicants:
Optional:
The Academic Statement of Purpose and the Personal History Statement are two of the most important documents in your graduate school application. Information in the Personal History Statement should complement but not duplicate information in the Academic Statement of Purpose.
If you are admitted and choose to enroll at Purdue University, you must submit official transcripts to the Purdue University Office of the Vice Provost for Graduate Students and Post Doctoral Scholars. Once you submit official transcripts to Purdue University, they become property of the University and will not be returned.
The Office of Graduate Admissions accepts electronic transcripts from accredited colleges and universities sent via Parchment Exchange, the National Student Clearinghouse, or directly from the accredited college and university. The transcript must be sent to gradadm@purdue.edu in order to verify the authenticity of the documents.
An official transcript bears the original signature of the registrar and/or the original seal of the issuing institution. Transcripts and/or English translations may be mailed directly from a Registrar’s office to the Office of Graduate Admissions or you can choose to send the transcripts yourself.
Official documents may be mailed to:
Office of Graduate Admissions
Purdue University Office of the Vice Provost for Graduate Students and Post Doctoral Scholars

You must upload to the online application transcript(s) and/or academic document(s) for every institution of higher education you attended regardless of whether or not a degree was received. If a transcript and diploma/degree certificate are not in English, an English translation (certified by the college or university which issued it) must be uploaded.
The uploaded transcript and/or academic document may be from the official or unofficial version of the document. An official transcript bears the original signature of the registrar and/or the original seal of the issuing institution. An unofficial transcript printed from your current/previous institution(s) student system is not an acceptable document.
If personal identifying information such as a student identification number or social security number appears on the document, remove this information from your electronic version of your document or mark out the information in black ink before scanning your document.
All transcripts and/or academic documents uploaded to the online application system are considered unofficial. The Purdue University Office of the Vice Provost for Graduate Students and Post Doctoral Scholars reserves the right to require official transcripts and/or academic documents at any time during the admissions process. Transcripts will not be returned.
Although not required, if you submit a GMAT, an official GMAT score of 655 is the preferred score for the Master of Business and Technology program. The Admissions Committee will consider the GRE in lieu of the GMAT if an applicant has already taken the GRE exam.
We recommend applicants who plan to take the GMAT do so at least two weeks prior to your application deadline. Official test scores should be sent to the specific program you have applied to and must be received by the stated deadline. Admission decisions are not finalized until official scores are received. (Visit www.mba.com for complete information regarding the test.)
The name of the program you are applying to is the 'code' required for reporting your GMAT score. GRE scores must be reported to Purdue University, institutional code 1631.
