How do I apply as a first time student?

We're excited you are interested in becoming a member of the John Martinson Honors College at Purdue!

To apply, you must indicate your interest in the Honors College on your Purdue Common Application before the November 1 Early Action Deadline. Students who apply after the Early Action Deadline cannot apply to the Honors College. In the Purdue-specific questions of your Common Application, the last question will ask if you would like to be considered for the Honors College.

To begin your Common Application, visit the Admissions website for additional information.

Once you indicate your interest, please answer the two prompts regarding your affinity for the Honors College within the Common Application.

Honors College admissions decisions will be released by the end of February. Each year we are limited to an enrollment of approximately 950 new students.

The deadlines listed are subject to change without notice. Please check back periodically for the most current information.
