Second Bachelor Degree Applicants

Life is made for learning. Start something new!

If you already have a bachelor’s degree and want to earn a second bachelor’s degree at IUPUI, you will follow the application process for transfer applicants. Second bachelor’s degree applicants are not eligible for admission as exploratory students, so you must select a major when you submit your application.

Other important information

Applicants who have a bachelor’s degree in another discipline and want to earn a second bachelor’s degree in business are encouraged to seek admission to a graduate program in business and should contact the IU Kelley School of Business before applying for an undergraduate degree program.
Second bachelor’s degree applicants are not eligible for admission to the Bachelor of Social Work degree program. Encouraged to seek out Master’s of Social Work instead.
Second bachelor’s degree applicants who want to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree should list the accelerated nursing degree option as their major.

After you apply

You can expect to find out whether you’ve been admitted to IUPUI within four to six weeks after we receive all your application materials. While you’re waiting, there are several things you can do.

Approximately two weeks after we receive your application, you’ll get an email with your University ID number. You’ll use this ID number to create your IUPUI computing account, which you’ll use to check the status of your application.

Please note that your IUPUI computing account is different than the guest computing account you created when you applied online. The guest computing account was solely for the purpose of submitting your application online.

Setting up your account

Go to One.IU, search for “create my first IU account” and select that task. You’ll then be able to create your username and passphrase, passphrase reset questions, and email address. Be sure that the email address you create is for IUPUI.

After you’ve created your IUPUI computing account, you’ll be able to check the status of your application in One.IU. To check your status, go to Application Status in One.IU and select "Start." Log in using your IUPUI username and passphrase (not your guest account information) to see the status of your application.

How to change other aspects of your application

You can use our application update form to:

Reactivate a previously withdrawn application

Updating how we can contact you

If you need to update your mailing address, phone number, or email address, you can do so in the Student Center in One.IU.
