At IUPUI, the vice chancellor for research and graduate education/associate vice president for research acts in conjunction with the IUPUI executive vice chancellor/dean of faculties to administer graduate programs. The vice chancellor for research and graduate education carries out all graduate program-related assignments made by the chancellor of IUPUI and the Indiana University vice president for research/dean of the Graduate School, and is the liaison to Purdue University for graduate affairs and research. The vice chancellor for research and graduate education collaborates with the associate dean of the Indiana University Graduate School, who is also director of the Graduate Office.
The IUPUI Graduate Office is the administrative center for graduate and graduate/professional programs on the Indianapolis campus. Although no graduate degrees are given by IUPUI itself, more than 7,000 students pursue one of the nearly 70 graduate-level degrees offered on the IUPUI campus by the Indiana University Graduate School, the Purdue University Graduate School, and Indiana University professional schools. The director serves as dean of students for all IUPUI post-baccalaureate students in collaboration with the IUPUI dean of students. In addition to the director, the Graduate Office has an assistant director, an assistant dean, a graduate nondegree counselor, and other support staff.
As the locus of graduate administrative activity, responsibilities of the Graduate Office include the processing of applications and GRE scores and the deposit of IUGraduate School and PUGraduate School theses and dissertations. The office provides staff support for all graduate administrative committees, sponsors student organizations (e.g., the Graduate Student Organization, the Black Graduate and Professional Student Organization, Women in Science and Engineering, and the Postdoctoral Organization), counsels post-baccalaureate students and prospective students, conducts pertinent workshops, holds orientation sessions, and organizes commencement activities for Indiana University Graduate School graduates. The Graduate Office also connects IUPUI to a wider graduate studies community through organizations such as the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS), the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC), and the Midwest Association of Graduate Schools (MAGS). Perhaps most importantly, the Graduate Office is the answer center for a wide range of questions pertaining to graduate study, graduate programs, and graduate student life. In addition, the Graduate Office supports other offices, such as the Enrollment Center and the Community Learning Network, in providing information and documents for general inquiries. The Graduate Office, under the primary direction of the assistant dean, also carries out recruiting for campus graduate programs.
IUPUI is a dynamic place where new degree initiatives are fostered.
Involvement with society at large and the community in particular is a hallmark
of this campus, which changes the flavor of new degree programs. Thus, students
will find fresh programs in public health, philanthropy, public history, and
social work as well as developing programs in informatics and visual
communications. These new and developing programs enrich the solid foundation of
traditional graduate programs available at IUPUI.
The Curriculum Committee, which is appointed by the associate dean, has the
responsibility of reviewing all new course or course change requests and
providing recommendations to the Graduate Affairs Committee. Members of the
Graduate Affairs Committee are assigned as primary and secondary reviewers to
evaluate new program proposals, and provide recommendations to the Graduate
Affairs Committee. Approved program or course proposals are referred to either
the IU Graduate Council or to the Purdue Graduate School for final action before
going to ICHE, if necessary. The Fellowship Committee reviews nominations and
selects applicants for receipt of the graduate fellowships to recruit
outstanding students to the respective graduate programs. The Interdisciplinary
Committee reviews proposals for new interdisciplinary programs and makes
recommendations on activities that will promote interdisciplinary graduate
programs for the campus. The recruitment committee oversees activities to
identify and recruit students to the graduate programs on the IUPUI campus.
Their major focus is on activities that enhance diversity.
The following pages outline the admissions, and if applicable, the degree
requirements for the graduate programs administered by Indiana University and
Purdue University Graduate Schools at IUPUI.

IUPUI Graduate Affairs Committee
The Graduate Affairs Committee at IUPUI is charged with overseeing the

Purdue University as well as deans, associate deans, president of the Graduate

further development and comment. This committee also receives and acts upon
reports from the Curriculum, Fellowship, Interdisciplinary, and Recruitment
Committees. The committee also receives a report from the president or the
president’s designee of the Graduate Student Organization.

Integrity in Graduate Education
Students are expected to adhere to the highest ethical standards in all their
course work and research. Individuals violating that code of conduct are subject
to disciplinary action; such breaches could lead to expulsion of the student
from the University or to recision of a degree already granted. To acquaint
students more fully with the range of issues relating to academic integrity, a
document entitled "Integrity in Graduate Study" is available, which
deals with topics such as plagiarism, fraud, conflicts of interest, among
others. Copies of that document may be obtained from departmental offices or
from the IUPUI Graduate Office, Union Building 518. Every student should be
familiar with its contents.
