• The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Initiative is a new partnership among IUPUI, IU-Bloomington and nine Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).  A $2 million endowment fund will provide graduates of the HBCUs and other first-generation college students with fellowships to pursue master’s and doctoral degrees in STEM disciplines at IU campuses.  The partnership addresses state and national needs for STEM scholars and professionals from under-represented groups.
• The Department of Philosophy in the School of Liberal Arts is joining forces with the School of Medicine to offer graduate training in bioethics.  Expertise and leadership in bioethics is urgently needed by a widening array of organizations, including government agencies, healthcare organizations, educational institutions, corporations, human rights organizations, insurers, and others.  The program combines an M.A. degree in Philosophy with a doctoral degree in Medicine.
• Five new certificate programs offered by the Department of Computer and Information Science in the School of Science reflect our society and economy’s increasing reliance on the Internet and computing.  The graduate-level certificates are offered in the fields of Biocomputing, Biometric Computing, Computer Security, Databases and Data Mining, and Software Engineering.  IUPUI is the only central Indiana institution offering both graduate certificates and the M.S. degree in Computer Science.
• Alumni of IUPUI schools currently account for approximately half of Indiana’s physicians, 90 percent of dentists, nearly half of the state’s lawyers, more than a third of  nurses, and a large percentage of health and rehabilitation sciences and social work professionals.
