How to Apply: High School and First-Time College Students

You’ll actually apply for admission online through the IUPUI Office of Admissions. We encourage you to apply for direct admission, which allows you to enter IUPUI as a School of Informatics and Computing student your very first semester. To pursue direct admission, you must list your intended major (B.S. in Media Arts and Science, Informatics or Health Information Management) or certificates (Medical Coding, Legal Informatics, Human Computer Interaction) on your IUPUI admissions application and meet eligibility criteria.

Another option is to start in IUPUI’s University College, where you’ll begin taking courses, declare your major and then certify into the School of Informatics and Computing early in your college career. But that doesn’t stop you from immediately joining one of our student groups, meeting with our advisors and becoming part of the informatics community.

Visit IUPUI’s Office of Admissions to begin your application or check your admission status.
