IU Indianapolis offers graduate and professional degrees ranging from graduate certificates all the way to doctoral degrees.
In addition, current IUPUI undergraduates have the opportunity to explore many different accelerated bachelor’s to master’s degree programs. Accelerated bachelor’s to master’s degree programs allow ambitious IUPUI undergraduate students the opportunity to earn both a bachelor’s degree AND a master’s degree in a shorter time frame than if pursued independently of each other (i.e., 5 years vs. 6 years).

Generally speaking, the best people to write your letters of recommendation are going to be those who can speak to how you are going to perform in your program, such as professors or instructors, as well as professional colleagues and contacts who can speak to your aptitude for the profession.
It's important that you first ask these contacts to write a recommendation, and that you give them at least two to four weeks prior to the application deadline to complete the recommendation. Additionally, you should:
- Provide your transcripts, resume, and personal statement so the recommender completely understands your goals.
- Provide instructions on how to submit the letter. IU Indianapolis' online application requests email addresses and the recommenders are sent an email asking them to submit the letter to a certain link.
- Send your recommenders thank you notes or emails.
- Let your recommenders know the outcome of your application.
The most commonly taken test for graduate school is the GRE (Graduate Record Examination). Others include the GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test), LSAT (Law School Admission Test), MCAT (Medical College Admission Test), PCAT (Pharmacy College Admission Test), (OAT) Optometry Admission Testing Program, and (DAT) Dental Admissions Test. International students are also required to take the TOEFL exam to show English proficiency.
Tips for Preparing for the GRE
- Register and take the test early.
- Take free practice tests.
- Plan on 1-3 months of preparation time.
There are a number of businesses that offer GRE test preparation materials. Some of them offer free practice tests and downloadable software for studying. They also offer online and live courses with a wide range in pricing. Be sure to take advantage of all the free materials before making any type of investment in classes. ETS, the company that administers the GRE and TOEFL, is a good starting point.
In addition, ETS offers a GRE Fee Reduction Program for individuals who can demonstrate financial need. Voucher users pay 50% of the regular test fee.
