Master's Degrees

Specialize in your field of interest

Do you want to dive deeper into the discipline you studied as an undergrad? You may find a master’s degree program offered by one of our departments that you are already well-qualified for. Your first step: review the College’s list of master’s degrees. Then, visit the department’s website for more information about the program. If you are a current student, be sure to make an appointment with your academic advisor to discuss admission requirements. Your advisor can answer your questions and point you toward your department’s director of graduate studies. If you are new to IU, please contact the department in your area of interest with any questions.

Pivot to a new degree path

Perhaps it’s time for a pivot to something new! Many students use their master’s degree to change direction, adding new skills to their resume or moving toward deeper study of a field that is different from their undergraduate major. Your degree, and the courses you’ve taken outside your major, could help you make this move. Check out the degree options below, which highlight some of our pivot-friendly master’s programs, to see where graduate study might take you. If you are a current student, make an appointment with your academic advisor to make sure you are on the right track to pursue your chosen advanced area of study. If you are a returning student, contact the department in your area of interest with any questions.
