Are you a student in another IU Indianapolis school?

The IU School of Liberal Arts offers all undergraduate IU Indianapolis students the opportunity to add a B.A. in Liberal Arts to complement a first major/degree within the traditional four-year timeframe. Add valuable skills and global understanding to excel in your field.

“Liberal arts to me is like a blanket of opportunities.I think there’s so many things that fall under liberal arts that people have no idea. I have had the opportunity to study coursework in every field under Law in Liberal Arts (major). I’ve done history classes, cultural classes, anthropology, and global studies. I’ve done it all. I have a lot of understanding of many different areas, which I think makes you really appealing to employers.”
