Purdue University’s president says Indiana’s proposed changes to high school diplomas do not meet the school’s admission standards.
President Mung Chiang stated in a letter to Indiana’s top state education leaders last week that the proposed diploma changes do not meet what have been the entry criteria at the school, especially in math, social studies and world languages.
Chiang also continued that high school curriculum is an important factor in college admission…
Another change, is that Students will no longer be required to take the SAT or ACT to graduate – both standardized exams are highly-encouraged for admission at Purdue and several other state universities….
Last year, A state law was passed, requiring the state board to adopt new requirements by the end of 2024.
