What are the benefits of doing research? There’s nothing like the thrill of discovery or making an original intellectual or creative contribution to your discipline. You’ll experience how fulfilling—and fun—it is when your research or creative project reveals a new understanding that could change how people think and live.
Under faculty supervision, you’ll play a significant role in IU Indianapolis’s research endeavor. Research experiences help you gather serious credentials for your dream career. You can expand your professional network, present your research or art project at national and international events, and get your results.
A few of the benefits of doing undergraduate research include:
- Real-life research experience
- Student research scholarships for most IEL programs
- Project supply funds
- Opportunities to present research posters at local conferences and symposia
- Honing of public-presentation skills
- Establishing an academic/professional network
- Learning to work in teams
