Fulfilling the Promise
A recent development for students at IUPUI is the RISE initiative. Aimed at undergraduates, RISE’s aim is to engage students in learning, and helps develop them both academically and professionally. The university recommends students complete at least two components from this project.
RISE stands for:
Under the mentorship of a staff member at the university, students conduct research or artistic work.
Students will have the opportunity to travel outside of the US, providing a cross-cultural experience while they learn.
The initiative ensures students are in suitable learning environments while completing activities. These activities help the wider community and provide students with service experience.
Students are involved in community-based activities such as internships or taking on projects for local businesses/non-profits. Here students can apply their knowledge in a real working situation, as well as develop skills such as problem solving, decision making, communication and professional growth.
The university also has a new partnership with TechPoint. This collaboration has led to the development of Xtern Semester, a new pilot which puts selected students into relevant work experience in the tech industry. This will happen through a competitive summer program, with TechPoint matching students with a high quality, paid internship with free housing.
The university has also developed a new engineering and technology program on campus which encourages students to be innovative and think like an entrepreneur. In a series of classes, students create a solution to an engineering problem, build a prototype and go through a patent process to protect their idea. Over 100 students have currently taken part in these classes, thanks to funding from IUPUI's STEM Education Innovation and Research Institute, as well as a grant from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation.
With IUPUI one of the top US-based research universities, the teaching quality is of a high standard. The university wants to prepare its students to be citizens of the world through its global learning values.
Students are taught both a general understanding of topics, as well as going in-depth in a select number of study areas, in order to get a well-rounded education.
Students are also taught communication skills, problem solving and how to adapt to different environments, which prepares them for real-life working environments upon graduation. The university puts an emphasis on practical learning and encourages students to put their classroom learning into action.
In order to help their future career upon graduation, students have opportunities to travel, conduct research, serve their community and gain practical work experience. Students are further supported by an assigned academic advisor, who is available to help right from the start of the academic year until graduation.
Ensuring a global emphasis within teaching at the university, the international affairs team engages with IUPUI staff. The team provides staff with resources, enabling them to teach modern and relevant global perspectives in the classroom. The university’s global partnerships allow them to further expand on this teaching, helping to educate students, serve communities and conduct vital research.
IUPUI has 17 distinct schools that confer degrees from Indiana University or Purdue University. They include:
Students learn practically and are given opportunities to apply their classroom learning to real situations through collaborative inter-disciplinary research. Their research is often focused on solving real world problems.
These programs teach real-world skills as well as theoretical principles.
Students are prepared for a career in dentistry by studying in an environment which combines teaching, research and community service.
Students are taught theoretical and practical skills required to teach, inspire and guide learners of all ages.
Offering a range of science degrees, this school aims to develop students into well-rounded scientists who can solve complex problems of the future.
The first school of its kind in the US, this school teaches students about working in a fast-paced and dynamic industry. It integrates computing, social science, and information systems design to explore how people use technology in different ways.
At this school, students can prepare themselves for a career in nutrition, rehabilitation, or health sciences.
This is the only professional school of art and design in Indiana. Students are taught the skills and given the experience they need in order to become successful within fine arts.
Giving students a solid start in the world of law, this school’s focus is to provide students with the skills and knowledge required to pass the bar and start practicing law.
Students are taught how to work in non-profit organizations, and how to make positive changes for their community using their careers.
There are many ways for international students to demonstrate their English proficiency and meet the undergraduate admission requirements.
In order to be eligible to study at the university, students are required to reach a minimum requirement on at least one of these tests:
Students who are admitted with TOEFL iBT of 60-94 or IELTS of 5.5-6.5 will need to take the EAP placement test.
Depending on the students’ EAP test results, they may take EAP courses at the same time as their academic major courses for one or two semesters. Their letter of admission will indicate if they are required to take this test.
PIE provides seven levels of academic English instruction to international students who want to study at a U.S. college or university.
Students who require an F1 or J1 visa can study at IUPUI for two terms in August and January. Due to the lack of available summer courses, as well as immigration restrictions, the university cannot accept students on these visas for summer terms of entry. Students who apply for a summer term will have their application automatically deferred to the August semester.
IUPUI offers a range of scholarships and funding opportunities for international students. The financial value of this funding ranges from USD 7,000 to 100% of tuition per year.
Undergraduate international students can qualify for the following scholarships:
Students are automatically considered for these when they apply to the university. Students can only receive ONE merit scholarship, which can be renewed for up to four years. The merit scholarships available are:

These scholarships are very competitive. Outstanding athletes must contact the relevant coach directly from the IUPUI's Athletics website. These scholarships can also be combined with merit scholarships.

IUPUI offers a range of on and off campus accommodation for international students, from single rooms to four-bedroom apartments.

All student homes include furniture, high-speed internet, academic support and more.
