Preprofessional Programs

The University of Indianapolis prepares students for a number of professional and graduate programs and provides guidance in the selection of those courses recommended or required for admission to most of these programs. A student interested in seeking admission to a professional or graduate program is assigned a faculty advisor who counsels the student about an appropriate undergraduate major (see majors listed above) as well as the steps to be taken toward fulfilling the ultimate goal of admission to a professional or graduate program. This procedure allows the student to complete an undergraduate major while fulfilling prerequisites for future professional or graduate study. It also provides the student the flexibility of a wide range of options upon graduation from the University.

The University offers preparation for most graduate programs, and faculty in undergraduate schools and departments can advise students about further study in a particular discipline. In addition, the University offers guidance in the following preprofessional programs that have an interdisciplinary approach:
