Graduate School Admission

Admission for graduate study at IU is granted jointly by the University Graduate School and the department, program, or school in which you plan to study. Because our admission process is decentralized, you must apply for admission to a particular program of study. It is important to read and understand your desired program's admission procedures, requirements, and deadlines.

Note: If you are a U.S. citizen or Permanent Resident who completed academic work outside the U.S. and would like to apply to a graduate program, please download the Supplemental Application for Admission (PDF, 139 KB) and submit it to the Office of International Admissions for a review of your foreign credentials.
