IUPUC Programs

Graduate Programs

Outstanding students wishing to continue their education may begin graduate work after the completion of their bachelor’s degrees. Most master’s degree programs require applicants to take standardized national examinations. The IU MBA Columbus program requires students to take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) (www.gmat.org) and the Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling program requires students to take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) (www.ets.org/gre) as part of the admission process. To be considered for admission to either program, a four-year bachelor’s degree or its equivalent from an accredited institution is required.
