Undergraduate applicants
After you decide which undergraduate degree program is right for you, review the undergraduate admissions requirements based on the type of applicant you are.
High school student application process
As an incoming freshman, you’ll be eligible for direct admission to the School of Health & Human Sciences (SHHS) if you meet all the following conditions.
- You have been admitted into IU Indianapolis. The university now offers a test-optional admissions option. Learn more about applying with or without SAT or ACT test scores.
- You declared your major as one of our undergraduate degrees on your IU Indianapolis application.
- You earned a cumulative high school grade point average of 3.45 on a 4.0 scale OR a 3.0 with an academic honors diploma or equivalent.
