Once you submit the electronic IU application you will receive an email confirmation. Within the IU application you will complete a Department Questions section. You will receive a separate email confirming the receipt of that section. Complete applications that arrive by the December 1 deadline will be reviewed by the appropriate faculty as well as the department's Graduate Admissions Committee.

You may log back into the IU application system. The system will indicate "submitted" as your status if the application has been received successfully. The status of electronic recommendation letters will also be reflected. The status does not indicate the admission decision.

Admission decisions are typically sent mid-February through March. The department staff cannot release admission decisions over the phone. They will not release admission decisions via email until after the official notifications are sent.

Yes. If you take the IELTS you need to receive a minimum score of 6.5.

No. Our admissions committee will automatically note the undergraduate degree during the review process.

Review the information under "Applying to More Than One Department" on the graduate admissions site. Once you complete and submit an application to the first department, you can copy that application and change the department to reflect the department chosen for the second application.

When you are completing the second application, be certain to check YES to the question "Have you previously paid a GRADUATE application fee to IU Bloomington?" Because Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, and Psychology are all in the College of Arts and Sciences, you will only be charged one application fee. You do not need to send additional transcripts, test scores, and/or letters of recommendation. Psychology, Cognitive Science, and Neuroscience will share these materials.
