- Admitted to Indiana University with either Computer Science B.S., Intelligent Systems Engineering B.S., or Informatics B.S. listed as intended major on your IU Bloomington application.
- Have a minimum SAT score of 1310 (critical reading and math only) or minimum ACT score of 28. Superscores are accepted for both SAT and ACT.
- A 620 minimum math SAT score or 26 math ACT score if your intended major is Intelligent Systems Engineering.
- Have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.75 on a 4.0 scale. Indiana University Bloomington and School of Informatics and Computing accepts weighted GPAs if provided on your high school transcript. All GPAs will be converted to a 4.0 scale by the Office of Admissions.
You will receive official notification of your direct admission to the School of Informatics and Computing within four weeks of having been admitted to Indiana University Bloomington.
Standard Admission
Students wishing to major in informatics or computer science must be admitted to Indiana University and first enter the University Division at IUB. Freshmen should begin to satisfy specific degree requirements in the first year. Informatics BS and Computer Science BS majors, after declaring their respective major and completion of the below requirements, will automatically "certify" from University Division in the certification after requirements are completed. For these 2 majors, no application is required and certification is 3 times a year, February (after fall semester), June (after spring semester), and October (after summer sessions).
Students pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in informatics must satisfy the following requirements:
- Complete 30 credit hours of course work that can count toward a bachelor of science degree in informatics with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0.
- Complete the English composition requirement (ENG-W 131 or equivalent) with a minimum grade of C.
- Complete INFO-I 101, Introduction to Informatics, with a minimum grade of C.
Students pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science must satisfy the following requirements:
- Complete 30 credit hours of course work that can count toward a bachelor of science degree in computer science with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0.
- Complete the English composition requirement (ENG-W 131 or equivalent) with a minimum grade of C.
Students pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in intelligent systems engineering must satisfy the following requirements:
- Completion of IU's MATH-M 211 and M 212 with a minimum grade of B.
- Completion of IU's PHYS-P 221 with a minimum grade of B.
- Complete 30 credit hours of course work that can count toward a bachelor of science degree in intelligent systems engineering with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.3.
- A demonstrated commitment to course load; students with no W's in course work have stronger applications.
