"Clinical psychology program is intense but educational. I managed to obtain a high number of publications and an NIH grant, as well as a large breadth of clinical experience."

"Medical coding is a very up and coming industry. The classes were all online and easy to manage. If you can stay organized- this online program would be great for you!"

"I learned a lot from my peers, as well as my instructors in this program. They are very supportive, and eager to connect you with the museum community locally and beyond, which is a must in this job market. The program stresses museum-community engagement, not collections development. This is great for those interested in education and exhibits. Maybe not as great for collections students. But it certainly offers a useful perspective of museum work today."

"I love the medical dosimetry program at IUPUI. The program director has more experience in the field than anyone else in the state and helped develop a few of the techniques that are used nationwide to treat cancer patients with radiation therapy. All of the staff is fantastic to work with and really care about our education in this program. Other than feeling rushed at times (which is how it will actually be all the time when I actually work in the field), I have no complaints about the program. I've only been in the program for three months and I have learned more than I ever thought possible, so I know in another nine months I will be more than prepared to enter the workforce as a medical dosimetrist."

"My program is called Transition to Teach, and it is for students who hold a bachelor's degree, but decide they would like to become an educator. It's ideal for people like me, who maybe thought one career would be sufficient during undergrad, but post graduation realized they needed a change based on life style, change of interest, etc. The program allows you to be a certified teacher before actually completing the Master's Degree which also very neat. The only con going into the program is if your degree is very different from the education field, then you don't have any of the prerequisite information that your fellow classmates may have. The transition students are mixed in with undergraduate students at the beginning of the program, but later will be separated. However, the program is designed to prepare you to teach even if have not taken the prerequisite courses."

"Our program truly benefits those looking for a future career in medicine. Whether applying to medical school, dental school, physician assistant school or other medical programs, the Masters of Cellular and Integrative Physiology will prepare a student sufficiently in order to be successful in the respective healthcare position. Challenging, yet rewarding, this program truly tests one's abilities within graduate level and medical academia. I believe that the strong integration of medicine and research within the program also a major benefit to those going into health."

"As an aspiring sports reporter, this program provides a unique opportunity to get a Master's Degree in Sports Journalism, something only available at a couple of schools in the country. It also is provided in the center of a booming sports city in Indianapolis, and the internship and job opportunities are plentiful. The only cons I see with this program is the high cost and unavailable student aid or school scholarships. The career choices it prepares you for are not those with a high income, yet the cost of the program is very high, thus dropping the true monetary value of the program. All in all, this is a fantastic program that I would strongly recommend."

"There was too much emphasis on culture and not enough on classroom management. They made me pay out of state tuition even after I moved to an apartment in Indianapolis and had met all the requirements for in state tuition. Some instructors/professors were great while others were not so good. Lots of freebies and love that the campus is so green."

"I have really enjoyed my time thus far at IUPUI. The professors of my program are approachable and more than willing to share their knowledge. The IUPUI experience comes along with the big city experience, which includes crime. Personally, I have never been a victim of crime while in Indianapolis, but have known many people who have."

"McKinney School of Law has four law program concentrations ranked in the top 10 in the country. Tuition is extremely reasonable with a high quality degree. Additionally, the School is located downtown in the state capital with multiple employment and networking opportunities."

"The IU School of Social Work in Indianapolis has a great program that harbors great group of faculty right in the heart of down town Indianapolis. The campus itself is extremely diverse with international students who come from all over the world. The faculty is very knowledgeable and experienced in their field of studies. They are always willing to help their students succeed through providing educational experience and professional networking. A downside to this institution is perhaps the parking. However, they are building more parking garages and changing how they work their parking system. I am sure this will make an outstanding difference to an already outstanding institution that provides quality education to a very diverse student body."

"The Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law is a fantastic graduate school for those interested in pursuing a career in the legal profession. The school is centrally located in the vibrant city of downtown Indianapolis and in walking distance of many top US law firms. Moreover, the alumni network from the McKinney School of Law is outstanding. There are plenty of top professionals from around the country who are working in the legal field and ready to help current students. The Office of Professional Development is also "top notch" and works tirelessly to assure that its students are successful in both academics, and their professional careers after graduation. The Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law is a quality institution that I would highly recommend to anyone interested in practicing law in Indiana or throughout the United States."

"My specific program is Pathology Assisting. It is a very small group of people that care about your success and prepare you well for your future career. My professors have been excellent and truly care about our success both as students and individuals. The courses have been challenging and I feel they have been sufficiently preparing us for our board examination. I am thankful to be a part of such a great graduate program."
