IU Campus

A blend of nationalities distinguishes the graduate student body

Indiana University has, since the end of World War II, developed and fostered a powerful international perspective. IU offers more foreign languages than any other state university, including Tibetan, Mongolian, Uzbek, the Turkic languages, Creole, Estonian, Japanese, Arabic, and Azeri. It is possible to obtain a Foreign Language and Area Studies Fellowship in some of these languages to finance your way through graduate school.

IU pioneered overseas study in the 1940s and continues to have an extensive program of international opportunities. The area centers on campus include Central Eurasian Studies, Russian and East European Studies, African Studies, Latin American and Caribbean Studies, Indian Studies, East Asian Studies, Near Eastern Studies, and West European Studies. The School of Public and Environmental Affairs offers joint MPA/MA degrees with many of these departments.

Unsurpassed research and library resources to advance your studies

The Indiana University Herman B Wells (Main) Library features a reference collection of more than 3 million volumes, with research collections in languages, literature, religion, philosophy, history, classics, sociology, psychology, political science, economics, anthropology, gender studies, and criminal justice.

Special collections in the Wells Library focus on such areas of the world as East Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, Russia, and Eastern Europe. Comprehensive science collections in chemistry, biology, and geology are in branch libraries throughout the campus.

The government publications collection in the Wells Library features more than 1 million documents issued by foreign governments, international organizations, and United States federal, state, county, and city governments. Additionally, most publications of the United Nations and the European Union are in the collection.

The in-house library shared by the School of Public and Environmental Affairs and the Kelley School of Business, with 180,000 volumes, is one of 14 specialized collections on campus. Nearly 600 new book titles are added each month, and more than 1,700 periodicals and journals are available in the collections on accounting, business economics, business history, environmental management, finance, government, health care, management, policy, and public administration. The library is one of the most advanced electronic connections to public affairs information in the country, offering CD-ROM indices and online services with electronic references, abstracts, and full-text articles on environmental, health, social science, and business topics.
