Master's Degree Students

Minimum Master's Degree Requirements

Applicants are often admitted to Master's degree programs before they have completed the requirements for a Bachelor's degree. However, before a student may earn a Master's degree through the School of Public Health-Bloomington, the institution granting the Bachelor's degree must send a transcript displaying the degree to the SPH Degree Administration Office.  Transcripts may be sent electronically or via mail, to the following contact:

Mail:
School of Public Health IU Bloomington
Attn: Amy Shamanov, room PH 123

 For a Master of Science or Master of Public Health degree, students are required to successfully complete all degree program course and grading requirements.  This information may be found for each individual degree program here:

A maximum of 6 credit hours in independent study, readings, and research courses (not including internships) may be used to meet Master's degree requirements unless special permission is obtained from the assistant dean of graduate studies. A student must have at least a 3.0 GPA to enroll in independent study courses.
