College 4+1 Pathways

College 4+1 Pathways offer qualified students the opportubity to begin working toward a graduate degree in the College of Arts and Sciences while pursuing an undergraduate degree at IU Bloomington. To participate, students must be admitted to the Pathway program and, eventually, the University Graduate School. To help keep students on track, students must meet benchmarks along the way. Pathways are intended to allow students to complete a bachelor's and master's degree in about five (5) years, potentially saving students time and money.
