At IUPUI, there is a lot more to your academic experience than what you learn in classroom. The RISE initiative allows you to apply your knowledge and skills in real-world settings by participating in four types of experiences:

  • Research opportunities: conducting research or artistic work under faculty mentorship
  • International experiences: travel and learning outside of the United States
  • Service-learning experiences: participation in an organized service activity that meets identified community needs
  • Experiential learning: community-based professional practice activities

After you have completed at least two of the four RISE experiences, your status as a RISE scholar is noted on your IUPUI transcript.
