IUPUI (reviews)

The programming in the kinesiology has an emphasis on science and hands on application. It delves into Anatomy and Physiology and Biomechanics. Should you pursue this degree, your coworkers will be interested mainly in physical and occupational therapy. Some other career interests include coaching, medicine, gym teacher, and personal training. I enjoyed the exercise classes and added some sports to the mix like beach volleyball and ultimate Frisbee. I did not like that there was a huge difference in difficulty between the EKG professors. One professor worked hard to teach the class how to be proficient, but often the easier professor was preferred to up ones GPA. Taking the more challenging course leads to better competency which could lead to a job as EKG technician. This is a terrible degree if you end up not going to graduate school, as it is a “stepping stone” degree meant to get you into graduate school.

During my time at Indiana University School of Dentistry at the IUPUI campus, I have been challenged and pushed to be the best clinician as well as individual that I can be. I have learned valuable life skills such as how to communicate important information to various types of patients, how to balance my time, as well as how to be responsible for myself in all aspects of life. The professors are what make the courses so valuable. They are always willing to lend extra office hours or resources to ensure you are succeeding. As much help as this is, it is up to you to reach out and take accountability for needing extra support. This builds strong drive and initiative for one’s education. Something that is valuable when pursuing anytime of degree. With all that being said, I believe that IUPUI is an excellent choice for many prospective students. I could not see myself anywhere else.

It’s a good university and located in downtown, so feels like city. But Indianapolis as a place doesn’t have much to do, which in turns affects your college career.

Kelley School of Business at Bloomington is better, but overall- I would say IUPUI-Kelley is good too.
