The promise of innovation

From its earliest days, IUPUI has been home to groundbreaking research and innovation.

In fact, before the campus was even formed, our researchers in the IU School of Dentistry were part of the pathbreaking team whose work led to a toothpaste we now know as Crest. Today, our researchers are mapping genomes, conducting research on vehicle safety systems, and using 3D bioprinters to create living tissue. This research not only changes lives but also saves them. In our classrooms and laboratories, we are training the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and innovators.

Spotlight: Hands-on innovation

Home to the most comprehensive array of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs in the state, IUPUI has dramatically expanded our offerings at the graduate level, adding a record 11 doctoral programs in the past year.

Many of these programs have grown in response to workforce needs in the industrial, nonprofit, and academic sectors. The new doctoral program in American studies is a key example. This program fills a gap, training leaders for the nonprofit sector. Students in this and many other programs finish their coursework with valuable hands-on experience as they conduct research and apply their learning in support of area nonprofits. It’s a win-win for the community and IUPUI students.

By virtue of their education, these and all IUPUI students join intellectual conversations that have been going on for millennia, adding their diverse voices to these conversations. Of course, IUPUI students do more than talk. They sculpt and translate, analyze and calculate, measure and fabricate as they prepare for their successful futures.

Our time at IUPUI has allowed us to grow by providing a foundation to build upon. We have gained a sense of who we are and who we would like to become.
