IU Columbus Programs
Graduate Programs
Outstanding students wishing to continue their education may begin graduate work after the completion of their bachelor’s degrees. Many master’s degree programs require applicants to take standardized national examinations. The Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling program requires students to take the Graduate Record Examination (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.
