• Graduate Programs
  • Indiana University's graduate program - including master's, post-master's, PhD, and postdoctoral options - is one of the most comprehensive in the world, putting IU students in high demand after they graduate.

Higher still were IU's  rankings in adult health (3rd), mental health/psychiatric nursing (6th), and Family Nurse Practitioner (11th).
