Admission decisions are made by the specific graduate program, which will inform you about any decisions. Most departments will supply applicants with their Student Identification Number upon admission.
U.S. citizens and international students use the same application. International students must apply online.
Request a graduate application fee waiver for the Ph.D. or Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) program you’re interested in.
For most programs, the application fee is $70 for domestic and international students. The Kelley School of Business master’s program operates on a different fee schedule.
The online application fee must be paid via credit card. Domestic students who use the paper application may pay the application fee using a check, money order, or cash only. Call (812) 855-8853 or email grdschl@indiana.edu for more information. Applications are not reviewed until the fee is paid.
International applicants must apply online. In most cases, international applicants should mail supporting documentation such as transcripts to:

However, some programs are exceptions. Before applying, review the application checklist for prospective graduate students on the website of the Office of International Services (OIS) to ensure that you follow the proper procedure and send all required materials.
If you have a bachelor’s degree and wish to study on a non-degree basis without necessarily concentrating in a single department, you can be admitted as a continuing non-degree student.
In addition to the basic information, many departments will require GRE scores or other tests associated with that program, a personal statement, a transcript from all institutions attended, and letters of reference. Check with your specific program or department for specific requirements.
The personal statement is an opportunity for you to tell us about your academic and career direction and goals.
Be sure that you answer the question that is asked on the application. Make a case for why you will fit into a particular program and what you will be able to contribute, rather than just what you hope to receive.
Questions about admission decisions and written parts of your application should be addressed to the graduate degree programs to which you are applying.
The Indiana University Graduate School Bloomington is more than happy to answer questions about the online application, deadlines, and application fees:
