Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis Reviews

"Nice program. Would like more financial support"

"The School of Social Work Masters Program at IUPUI is a program that is competitive with others. The school has given students access to a great education through efficient and high level teaching that helps students to excel and critically think. The only downside of the program would be the accesibility to extra-curricular courses to help students learn specific things they are interested. This is in the work for future years and the staff is always willing to listen to the students to keep improving the program for years to come."

"I am in the physician assistant studies program here at IUPUI. The faculty and supporting staff members are amazing. The school is very affordable, but remains very competitive with other colleges, universities, and graduate schools in the state. The school's location is very convenient, nestled in the downtown Indianapolis area. Within the Physician Assistant program itself, there is a family-like atmosphere, which is welcoming for students from all walks of life. I am proud to say that I am an IUPUI graduate student!"

"The dentistry program covers an extensive didactic curriculum that involves microbiology, dental sciences, biological systems, and clinical applications. The program is committed to increasing the use of technology to improve learning on and off campus. Currently, curriculum, clinical efficiency, and admissions tasks forces are being assembled to better the patient, student, and faculty experience. Faculty are usually available for answering questions. Students are encouraged to spend "out of lecture" time in the clinics to gain early clinical experience. A recently graduated dental student once told me, "the most valuable part of the D.D.S. education is that we, as student-dentists, are involved in every aspect of patient care. When we graduate, we are ready to take on all aspects of patient care, not just traditional treatment planning and technical skills.""

"The positives are that the teachers are mindful of the students ability and provide the challenges to shape them academically. The negatives are that there are many students who are not really serious about attending the school which makes it difficult for the ones who are serious to operate, especially in group assignments"

"I love how research focused we are, because it really helps me realize that I need to support my choice of treatment with what research says. I am now able to think in a research mindset. I love the staff, they are all so passionate about their work and are very friendly. Finally, I love the environment of being in downtown Indianapolis and the opportunities that it gives us."

"I'm very happy with my experience at IUPUI so far. I'm grateful to be among likeminded individuals in a learning environment. As a full-time employee, wife and mother I appreciate the flexibility of our programs Saturday cohort."

"It's a very personal college and does its best to assist you on your journey to obtaining a graduate degree."

"I am entering my first semester in graduate school to obtain a Master's degree in Music Technology. So far in the process, I have experienced great responsiveness from faculty. The staff has been incredibly helpful and supportive, as well. The course program was clearly explained and the prerequisites were defined in depth. Career options were laid out for future decisions, as well. In addition to enrolling in graduate studies at IUPUI, I also obtained a Bachelor's degree in English from the institution. In that time, I have nothing negative to state about the school. The technology provided was exceptional and current, as well. From everything I know and through experience with the school, I would recommend it for anyone interested."

"I really enjoy the student-professor interactions here. Its a great place to go to school! Many opportunities, great education."

"IU School of Social Work is a great program that is competitive to get into. I believe that the professors are really amazing and care for the students in their classes. The writing level is expected to be quite high, and they will make sure of it. I enjoy being a graduate student here."

"IUPUI's Social Work graduate program is really good. You can see that the professors love what they do and want to pass their knowledge on to the younger generation. The workload is sometimes frustrating due to commitments with other classes and assignments. I am unsure of how the financial aid works because I am not eligible to receive help. Getting in touch with professors and staff is dependent on the person. Some of the professors and staff will get back with you within 24-48 hours where as others, take days or never respond back. Overall, the program is good, has lots of wonderful people to connect with, and is in a safe environment."

"The dental program is an intense program because it involves book knowledge with mechanical skills. Dentistry is a type of art which is difficult to achieve. It also requires an ability to listen to patients and treat them with compassion. There are many aspects to dentistry and the field is always changing and advancing in technology and materials. The dental school at Indiana University has the latest computer technology for the dental labs."

"The Indiana University Fairbanks School of Public Health has provided me with a fantastic education. I have learned more than I ever imagined. The faculty is wonderful and the Indianapolis area is beautiful. Also, the students are kind and all work together!"

"The ability to pursue any and all learning without restrictions that I would get in undergrad. A newer way of learning."

"The IU School of Social Work is an amazing school with competent and caring faculty. The school prides itself on preparing future social workers for field. I am thankful for my opportunity in this program."

"I am very familiar with members of the faculty and have good rapport. They are very helpful as needed."

"The degree obtained after completing Masters is very valuable but there is not sufficient funding to help support expenses while studying"

"What I feel are the pros of my graduate program are: 1) the rigorous writing required in LARC (ranked in the top 10 writing programs); 2) professor's open door policy; 3) career services assistance to make ensure students find jobs, externships, internships, and pro bono work. What I feel are the cons of my graduate program are: 1) the strict grading rubric and 2) the lack of security on the premises."

"IUPUI is a very affordable option. The quality of education is not sacrificed either. My first choice school for Occupational Therapy."
