At the Jacobs School of Music, we welcome students from around the world. However, the admissions process is slightly different for international applicants.
You will apply to Indiana University or the Indiana University Graduate School and the Jacobs School of Music, just like U.S. students do.
But you will also need to send additional documentation to the Office of International Services and to Jacobs.
For a successful application, you must arrange to have the following materials sent to the Indiana University Office of International Services by November 1, 2019.
Arrange to have your academic records sent to the Indiana University Office of International Services in the original language from every postsecondary school you have attended.
If the original document is not in English, you must also provide an official translated copy with line-by-line English translation.
See all document requirements for graduate studentsIf your native language is not English, you must submit a TOEFL score to the Jacobs School of Music demonstrating your level of English proficiency.
Applicants in voice (all), piano (D.M. only), graduate conducting, and graduate music education must submit scores by December 1, 2019. All other applicants must submit scores by March 1, 2020. There are no exceptions to these requirements and scores must be submitted in order for an admission decision to be made.
If you are admitted to the Jacobs School of Music, you must submit documents to the Office of International Services to prove that you have the financial means to support yourself for a full calendar year, including tuition, fees, and living expenses.
Your financial documents are not related to your admission decision. However, the Office of International Services cannot issue you an immigration document until you have provided sufficient evidence of financial support.
We encourage you to submit your financial documents as soon as possible. We will be able to finalize your application and process your necessary immigration documents sooner.
