Entry Requirements

Students who hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution with a grade point average (GPA) of 3.00 on a 4.00-point scale, or with an overall “B” grade equivalent may be considered for admission to graduate degree programs in the School of Engineering and Technology. International applicants must submit official test score reports from the Educational Testing Service (ETS) for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) to be considered for admissions. Some graduate programs require official test scores for the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) from both domestic and international applications.

English Requirements

TOEFLMin 79

English Program Requirements

All international students must demonstrate English proficiency for admission into IUPUI graduate and professional programs. Non-native English speaking domestic applicants may also be required to complete standardized testing dependent on their English proficiency.

There are many different ways to demonstrate your English proficiency to meet our graduate or professional admission requirements. Please make careful note of the different minimum requirements for Purdue and IU graduate programs shown below. Additionally, some graduate programs only accept the TOEFL, and some may require a score higher than the minimum campus standard. Verify this information with your program before selecting an alternative to the TOEFL.

How to Apply

Your first step is to talk to the academic department that offers your program. You will want to check their admission standards and deadlines before you start the application process.

The online application takes about 30 minutes to complete.

All applicants use the same application to apply to IUPUI, whether they are interested in entering Indiana University programs or Purdue University programs on our campus.

You are required to submit some supporting documents for your department to make the initial admission decision. Each department has different requirements.

Once all required documents have been submitted for your application, your program’s graduate committee will review for an admission decision and directly communicate the decision to you. If you want to know the status of your application, you will need to reach out directly to your department.

*Please allow 4-6 weeks from the point that your application and all required documents have been submitted for an admission decision from your program.

If the graduate department has made a decision to admit you to their program, then the Office of International Admissions (OIA) carries out a second review to finalize the admission.

You will receive an email from [email protected] that has instructions about how to submit your final documents. You will submit them electronically through Atlas, our online portal for international students. You will have to supply the original documents before you enroll.

At this step, you can also log into Atlas to see your next steps and see which documents have been reviewed and accepted. Our international admissions team will contact you if there are any questions about your documents.

After you submit your final supporting documents and we conduct a final review of your application, we will notify you via a letter. You will be able to access the letter about your admission status in Atlas.

If your government requires academic admission before you can get your other required documents (such as your financial documentation), you can use your Admission Letter to get those documents.

Be sure to check your email on a regular basis. We will email you if we need any additional documentation or if we have any other instructions for you.

The Office of International Admissions (OIA) sends out the official admission package that contains information about your arrival, program costs, orientation, and immigration documents to secure your non-immigrant student visa (F1/J1).
