M.S. in Geology
Representing IU Indianapolis [at the American Geophysical Union conference], I had the opportunity to connect with leading scientists in my field, learn about their projects, and share my research. One highlight was learning more about NASA's L'SPACE NPWEE program and being selected for it.

I chose graduate school at IUPUI because I am particularly interested in studying serious mental illness (SMI) and IUPUI’s clinical psychology program offers numerous clinical and research opportunities working with this population.

I fell in love with Indianapolis when I visited and wanted a medium sized program. After meeting with the Chemistry Department faculty, I knew this was the right program for me.
Meet HannahJasmine Beecham
Ph.D. in Applied Social and Organizational Psychology
I enjoyed how accepting my program was. My program focuses on bias and discrimination in the workforce and they practice what they study. They care about being accepting to all persons, care about your holistic well-being and that you have a balanced life, but also are motivated to help you reach whatever goals you may have determined.
Meet JasmineMaribel Hernandez
Ph.D. in Addiction Neuroscience
One of the biggest reasons I chose to pursue a PhD at IUPUI was because of the positive and collaborative environment between the faculty and graduate students within the Addiction Neuroscience department.
