An IUPUI undergrad participates in research on campus

Undergraduate Research

Not only are top researchers actually teaching many of your courses, but you may have the chance to work with them in the lab, too!

Some of the topics students have tackled in recent semesters:

  • Pair up with a research mentor and study fuel-cell technology, nanotechnology or biomedical engineering.
  • More interested in social issues? Then explore the impact of the arts in religion and culture, or the impact of homelessness on segments of our population.
  • Intrigued by the world of law and order? Then delve into efforts to combat online identity theft.

Students like you are an important part of IUPUI's research foundation. On our campus, the real world is an every-day learning opportunity.
