How and What Do I Need to Apply?

To be accepted into the Master of Liberal Studies program at IPFW, you’ll need an undergraduate g.p.a. of 3.0, three letters of recommendation, and a personal statement of your goals in the program (a page or so will do).   Here are the three forms you will need to fill out (they're word documents):  

1.  Graduate Data Sheet
2.  IU Graduate Application
3. Letters of Recommendation  (open page and send link for letter with waiver; or send link for letter without waiver) 

Open or Download the form, fill them out in Adobe reader, click the Submit Document in the upper right, and it will automatically be submitted to Liberal Studies (you can sign digitally).  Alternatively,  you can print them off and bring them (or mail them) to Department of Liberal Studies, Liberal Arts Bldg., Rm 153 Attn: Holly McDonald-Lara. If you're on campus often, you could also stop by and ask Holly for an application packet, which will contain these forms.

    If you did not obtain a 3.0 gpa in your undergraduate career, you can still be admitted if you take a graduate course in Arts and Sciences and receive a B or better.  The main problem, for many, with this route is that financial aid cannot be obtained until you are accepted into the program.  Thus, you will have to finance your first course.
