Application information

Entry requirements

Department of History graduate programmes: admission is described as highly competitive; committees consider the academic record, strength of letters of recommendation and fit between the applicant's research interests and IU faculty. Some fields require substantial language preparation. Applicants without a history master's who intend to earn a doctorate are directed to apply to the PhD programme. Terminal MA students receive no department-based funding.

Requirements published at program group level.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

The graduate application fee is $70 (US citizen and international); a reduced fee of $35 applies to students currently enrolled in a graduate programme who apply to a second programme in the same school, and fee waivers are available for eligible applicants.
