IUPUI School of Science HistoryIndiana University (IU) established its first extensioncenter at Indianapolis in 1916, although the first IU coursewas taught in Indianapolis in 1890. The Indianapoliscampus of Purdue University (PU) grew out of World WarII training programs sponsored by Purdue, and began itsmajor operations in 1946. Indiana University establishedthe Indianapolis regional campus in the mid-1960s. In1968, the Trustees of Indiana University created IndianaUniversity at Indianapolis, and less than a year later, in1969, the trustees of Indiana and Purdue universitiesmerged their Indianapolis operations to form IndianaUniversityPurdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI).Indiana University was selected to administer the campus.Purdue brought to the merger a growing complex of

degree programs and Purdues traditional strengths in thephysical sciences, engineering, and technology. The nameof the campus was changed to Indiana UniversityPurdueUniversity Indianapolis in 1992. As of 2009, IUPUI enrolledmore than 28,000 students.

A restructuring of undergraduate programs at IUPUI inthe Fall of 1972 created three new schools: the Schoolof Liberal Arts (humanities and the social sciences), theSchool of Engineering and Technology, and the School ofScience (physical, behavioral, and life sciences).

After being housed for almost 22 years on the 38th Streetcampus, the School of Science made a historic move intwo phases into two buildings on the main campus during

1991-1993.MissionThe School of Science offers undergraduate andgraduate programs that prepare students for a variety ofcareers.

Bulletin Designation and ProgramPlanningBulletin Designation

All colleges and universities establish certain academicrequirements that must be met before a degree is granted.These regulations concern such things as curricula andcourses, majors and minors, and campus residence.Advisors, directors, and deans will aid students in meetingthese requirements, but students are responsible forfulfilling them. At the end of the course of study, thefaculty and the Board of Trustees vote on the conferring ofdegrees. If requirements have not been satisfied, degreeswill be withheld pending satisfactory completion of theserequirements. For this reason, students need to acquaintthemselves with all regulations and to remain informedthroughout their university career.

This bulletin lists the requirements and regulationsin effect for students who are admitted to the Schoolof Science in August 2010 (Fall semester). Studentswho enter after this date may be subject to differentrequirements; students who entered before August 2010may elect to follow the graduation requirements that werein effect at the time of their admission to their degreeprogram or the graduation requirements that becameeffective thereafter. However, the requirements chosenmust be from only one bulletin. If a student has notcompleted a bachelors degree program within eight yearsof admission, the student may be obliged by the majordepartment to meet the requirements of a subsequentbulletin. Additionally, students in good standing whohave not been enrolled at the university for two or moreconsecutive years must satisfy the requirements of the

School of Science bulletin in effect upon their return.Program Planning and Advising GuidelinesThe experience of academic advisors and of successfulstudents suggests the following guidelines for effectiveplanning of undergraduate programs:

Students should be thoroughly familiar with allacademic requirements that must be met before adegree is granted.

Students should seek appointments with academicadvisors in their major departments before thedates established by the university calendar forregistration. In such conferences students should, asa minimum objective, make certain that they reviewtheir degree requirements and that they have madean appropriate plan for the next semester.

Each student should understand that theresponsibility for determining an appropriateacademic program and for meeting every degreerequirement rests with the student; faculty or staffmembers acting in the capacity of advisors areobligated only to assist students in meeting thisresponsibility. Any student who needs clarificationof any of the requirements for the degree programis urged to obtain this clarification from an academicadvisor or from the School of Science, ScienceBuilding, Room 222, phone (317) 274-0625.
