Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
You need the following GPA score:
Applicants for graduate programs must have the equivalent of a bachelor\xe2\x80\x99s degree with a minimum GPA equivalent to 3 on a US 4.0 grading scale. Admitted applicants typically have an undergraduate GPA of or better on a 4.0 scale. No exam grade should be lower than 4.5 (European grade scale) or D (American grade scale).
Your GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated using the grades that you received in each course, and is determined by the points assigned to each grade (e.g. for the US grading scale from A-F).
Candidates for admission to the program are required to hold a bachelor\xc2\x92s degree from an accredited institution with a minimum GPA of 3.0. Alternatively, an applicant whose past academic record is not sufficiently strong (e.g. low GPA, outdated undergraduate degree, etc.) can qualify for admission by scoring 150 or higher on the quantitative component of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) under the new GRE scoring system. No specific undergraduate field of study is required. Students with satisfactory competence in undergraduate study of basic computer and mathematics subjects are encouraged to apply. Typically, these applicants have undergraduate degrees in mathematics, computer science, chemistry, physics, biological sciences, engineering, secondary mathematics education, business, economics, and other technical fields. In all cases, students lacking an appropriate background in computer science and/or mathematics are required to remove those deficiencies in a timely manner before taking graduate courses. Specifically,
- At most, 50 percent of coursework may be taken under provisional status, pending formal admission.
- Students with provisional status must have explicit permission from the graduate director prior to registering for graduate courses.
Application Procedure
For an application to be considered, the following must be received:
- Application for admission, www.iusb.edu/graduate-studies
- Three letters of recommendation
- IU South Bend application fee
- Official transcript from each postsecondary school attended
- Evidence of an earned, four-year, bachelor\xc2\x92s degree
- GRE scores, if submitted as evidence of academic strength (optional)
- Acceptable TOEFL scores for non-English speaking applicants (score of 550 in paper-based tests, 213 in computer-based tests, and 80 in Internet-based tests is currently required)
English Proficiency: IELTS 6 or equivalent.
