Degrees, Minors and Certificates

Specific forms and processes are used in developing new academic programs. In most cases new programs require the involvement of central university administration, the trustees, and in some cases, the Indiana Commission for Higher Education. The forms and general processes are the same for IU and Purdue degrees.
