Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis Reviews

"Going back for my degree was made easy with PG. I was able to transfer my credits and pick up where I left off free of hassle. My classes were to follow without feeling overwhelmed by school and life. The faculty was amazing with helping me further my education. If I had to do it all over again, PG would be my school of choice every single time."

"Great experience! I started out with a Kaplan then after my associates it was switched to Purdue Global! I was old recommend this school (online) to anyone. It’s easy to understand with the online program, great professors, awesome advisor's, amazing classmates, etc. Graduated ceremonies are GREAT! I had so much fun meeting people and still in contact with a lot of my classmates!"

"For me, Purdue University Global is one the best university in the world that provide online education. Professors help students with meaningful and quick feedback. Most of them are even flexible on assignments and discussion boards' due dates. And counselors are always available to help."

"Unwelcoming environment. Unreasonable amount of projects in part-time program, especially considering most part-time students work full-time. Instructors are cold and make it a principle from the beginning of class to inform the students that they will not receive A's. Very difficult to communicate with instructors. Overall, very bad experience and I would not recommend to anyone."

"This school was a good fit for me for many reasons. First, they accepted transfer credits from Ivy Tech, where I earned an Associate's Degree. However, the downside was that they only accept a limited number of transfer credits, so keep that in mind if you are looking to transfer. Now, many two-year colleges have specific transfer programs. Second, the Liberal Arts professors were top-rate. It did not matter what class I took, the majority of my professors not only knew the material but had a passion for it that really showed and encourage the students to be engaged. Third, the Philosophy program could be better if they incorporated more logic courses (which they recently cut back even more), however, the professors were incredible and always had the time and willingness to meet with students. They have at least two very well known scholars associated with the Philosophy department. My second issue with the program was a lack of historical context. In the four years that I attended (two for my Masters), I did not see any class offered on the classics like Plato or Aristotle. Much of the classes were based on modern Western analytical philosophy.Read Less"

"Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) is a diverse educational institution. It offers various programs and is close to the heart of downtown Indianapolis. It also has four hospitals in close proximity to campus which adds to the number of opportunities on-campus or near campus for student employment. The program I participated in was offered by the Kelley School of Business. It not only allowed me to complete a triple major and double minor but diversify my education, build a diverse network and create opportunity for myself whether it was through a fraternity for business professionals or case competitions.Read Less"

"The program, in its' current form, is an unorganized mess. The advisors have no idea about course electives, curriculum requirements, or changes. Often course curriculum will change (it has three times since starting the program) and the advisor will make you change courses, even though you entered in a different catalog year. It takes the advisor weeks to get back to you and registration sometimes closes before you can get the information you need or permission to enter a course. Each of the professors have different and varying expectations. Some courses have little to no work in them, to the point you have no idea what you are paying for. Other courses, the material is non-existent and the professors have expectations for what you are supposed to know, but what is not taught by the program. The practicum placements are atrocious. The field coordinator cannot figure out where to place people and most people have to find a placement on their own. If they do not, then they will not be able to move forward in the program. This often leads students to take practicum placements that are not conducive to their career goals. Additionally, course grading is all over the place. During the middle of the program, the professors decided they started wanting an Abstract on every paper, however no one informed the students and the refused to change the grades or offer feedback. In the professional practice / counseling courses, the feedback made absolutely no sense, as if someone with schizophrenia wrote it. At this point, I have no idea what I am paying for. I'm not sure if other MSW programs are like this, but almost everything in this program is lacking. If you have other options, please go to another program.Read Less"

"I graduated from IUPUI in 2016. I liked the academics at IUPUI. They have wide variety of majors to choose from. I transferred from biology major to psychology. The faculty at the school that thought my classes were awesome. Undergraduate research opportunities offered by the university get a one of my stars. Being located in downtown opens up lot of job opportunities as well as provides access to low price apartment rentals to the students ."

"IUPUI is an excellent choice for those looking to earn their degree in Library and Information Science. The MLIS Program offers classes that are relevant to todays field, and the coursework does well to prepare students for future employment. As someone who has worked in public library systems for the last 15 years, I decided to take the next step in furthering my career by working towards my MLIS degree, and I am very pleased with how relevant the program course content is to real-life work experiences for librarians.Read Less"

"The Master of Accounting degree from the Kelley School of Business on the IUPUI campus is a phenomenal degree. The professors are top notch and prepare you for the public and corporate accounting world, in my opinion, better than most other graduate accounting degrees on other campuses. I would recommend this program to anyone that is serious about being at the top of the accounting profession."

"With the high ideals and expectations IUPUI achieves each day, the opportunities offered here can only benefit your future. I can assure you, you will take with you the skills and talents gained on campus to any workforce and fully lead, grow, and serve, but most of all, make a difference. IUPUI offers over 200+ degree programs. You also have to opportunity to take classes from two universities in one place, Indiana University and Purdue University. IUPUI is a culturally rich campus and offers many student body activities year round.Read Less"
