Graduate Programs
Admissions
International Applicants
Given the move toward three-year bachelor’s degrees throughout much of the world, including the 40-plus European nations participating in the Bologna process, many American universities are reconsidering their previous insistence on a four-year bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) to be considered eligible for admission to an American graduate program. In this light, IUPUI has established the following standard for minimum eligibility for admission to its Indiana University graduate programs.
Criteria for Admission
Graduate applicants are expected to have completed the equivalent of a U.S. Bachelor’s degree in order to be considered for graduate study, such as:
- Have completed at least 16 years of primary+secondary+tertiary education and have earned a university first degree, OR
- Have completed a university first degree that grants eligibility for graduate study in a recognized university in that same country
Persons without this background cannot be accepted for graduate study, regardless of the name of any first degree they may hold.
International applicants must submit both GRE or GMAT and TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) scores. To gain admission, international applicants must earn the minimum scores listed below.

Paper Test: minimum 600
Computer Test: minimum 250 (or minimum 100 for new test Fall 2005)

Verbal: minimum 500
