General Information For International Students 
Interested in Professional Flight Technology

International students are eligible to apply for admission to the Professional Flight Technology major in Aviation Technology.  You will compete academically with other applicants. However, there are some additional requirements that apply to international applicants:

1. Minimum TOEFL of 650 (written test) or equivalent computer score for international applicants whose native tongue is not English.
2. Minimum SAT (or ACT equivalent) of 550 each, verbal and math.
3. Minimum grade point average of 3.3 on a 4.0 scale.
4. Oral screening interview conducted for successful applicants. This may be accomplished by telephone.
   

You will also need high school grade transcripts, a student visa, and proof of financial support. The International Students and Scholars Office listed below can explain these requirements. Additionally, if accepted as a first semester freshman, you will need at least an FAA second class medical certificate and student pilot certificate.

Additional requirements imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration, Transportation Security Administration, and other United States government agencies may affect your eligibility for flight training.

To be considered for acceptance as a second semester freshman, applicants must be a current Purdue undergraduate student in another major, possess an unrestricted U.S. FAA private pilot certificate, single engine land, and at least an FAA second class medical certificate.

To be considered for acceptance as a junior, applicants must have at least least 30 credit hours of transferable coursework from an accredited undergraduate program excluding any credit earned for the private, commercial, or instrument flight, ground, or flight training device courses, an unrestricted U.S. FAA commercial pilot certificate - single engine land, an unrestricted U.S. FAA instrument rating - airplane, and at least a second class FAA medical certificate. 

The application deadline for freshman applicants is November 15 and for those wishing to transfer into the junior year, June 1.
