Core 40 Diploma
*Core 40 became Indiana’s required high school curriculum in Fall 2007. In Fall 2011 a Core 40 high school diploma will be required for entrance to any four-year public Indiana college/university. In addition to considering high school courses, Purdue University Calumet will continue to use other factors such as grade point average, class rank, trends in achievement, honor courses, and test scores when reviewing applications for admission. We will evaluate applicants on an individual basis and in relation to their requested major.
