The best education takes students outside the classroom. The School of Health & Human Sciences has a robust, well-established array of programs that provide the chance to apply skills and learning in ways that improve lives. Pairing hands-on experience with academic research allows you build a competitive foundation for your career.
Research in the context of community engagement is a central learning philosophy at IU Indianapolis. Not only does research help students build a desirable skill set in today’s data-driven economy, it also helps students connect the dots between what they are learning in the classroom and what really matters to the people they are designing experiences for.
