Accelerated degrees are programs in which academically qualified students earn both a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in less time than pursuing them independently. Accelerated degree best practices documents are available upon request for our graduate and undergraduate faculty. Contact Dezra Despain for access.
Dual degrees allow graduate or professional students to earn two degrees in related areas of interest in fewer credit hours than if they obtained each degree separately.
The IU Graduate School Indianapolis must receive accelerated or dual degree proposals for review at least two (2) weeks prior to the next regularly scheduled Graduate Affairs Committee meeting. Please check the meeting schedule.
The designated Graduate Office Accelerated Program cover sheet and copy of the OVPIA international agreement application, including proposal form, draft MOU, and dean’s support letter, is submitted to the Graduate Affairs Committee.
Following GAC clearance, the OIA will clear the international agreement application for review by the IU Office of the Vice President for International Affairs (OVPIA), which is IU’s pathway for international MOU approval.
Upon final clearance of the MOU by IU legal, the IU Graduate School Indianapolis will enter the preparatory program request into APPEAR, enabling the Registrar to create the relevant program plan coding.
