Indiana University Bloomington Admission 2027: Deadlines, Requirements, Fees for International Students

Admission at a glance

Indiana University Bloomington is the flagship campus of the Indiana University system, located in Bloomington, Indiana. International applicants follow the same freshman process as domestic applicants, with an early action deadline of November 1 that gives first and maximum consideration for both admission and scholarships, and a regular decision deadline of February 1 for standard admission consideration; applications after February 1 are considered only if space remains.

IU Bloomington asks international applicants for a TOEFL score of 79, an IELTS score of 6.5, a Duolingo English Test score of 115 or a PTE Academic score of 53, evaluated within the past two years, with alternatives available through a qualifying SAT or ACT score or prior schooling in English. The 65 dollar application fee is collected as part of the standard freshman application.

IU Bloomington's own Office of International Services publishes a detailed cost of attendance specifically for international undergraduates, separate from the general domestic figure. For 2026 to 2027 this puts tuition and mandatory fees at 44,339 dollars for the nine month academic year, with housing and food, mandatory health insurance and other estimated expenses bringing the total estimated cost to 61,156 dollars.
