IUPUI School of Education The School of Education at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis offers teacher preparation, counseling, and leadership programs that connect to regional partners such as Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art, Indiana State Museum, Indianapolis Public Library, Lucas Oil Stadium, and Indiana University Health. It collaborates with institutions like Ball State University, Purdue University, Indiana University Bloomington, Butler University, and DePauw University to support pipelines for licensure, advanced degrees, and workforce development. The school serves a diverse population drawing from neighborhoods near Monument Circle, Fountain Square, Massachusetts Avenue (Indianapolis), Marion County, and the broader Midwest.
Founded during the consolidation era that followed partnerships between Indiana University Bloomington and Purdue University, the School of Education emerged amid statewide initiatives including efforts by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, Governor Otis R. Bowen, and advocacy from organizations such as the Indiana State Teachers Association. Early programs reflected accreditation standards set by bodies like the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation and responded to legislative actions such as the Indiana Teacher Tenure Law reforms. Expansion phases aligned with urban revitalization projects involving Indianapolis International Airport development, downtown cultural investments near Hilbert Circle Theatre, and collaborations with Indianapolis Public Schools.
Degree offerings span undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral pathways tied to disciplinary partners such as Kappa Delta Pi, American Counseling Association, Council for Exceptional Children, Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, and National Association of School Psychologists. Programs include pre-service teacher licensure cooperating with P-12 schools near Georgetown, Indianapolis, advanced practitioner degrees linked to American Educational Research Association standards, and leadership certificates that align with frameworks used by National Board for Professional Teaching Standards reviewers. Interdisciplinary options connect to units such as IU School of Medicine, IUPUI School of Nursing, O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, IU Kelley School of Business, and Herron School of Art and Design.
Research initiatives coordinate with centers and coalitions such as the Center for Urban and Multicultural Education, partnerships with Indianapolis Neighborhood Housing Partnership, and grant work involving agencies like the U.S. Department of Education, National Science Foundation, Institute of Education Sciences, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and Lilly Endowment. Faculty-led projects examine issues in collaboration with Teach For America, comparative studies referencing OECD, and applied scholarship informing policy discussions in venues such as Statehouse (Indianapolis). Specialized centers support special education research connected to Council for Exceptional Children fellows and counseling research aligned with American Psychological Association initiatives.
The school’s leadership has drawn on administrators and scholars with cross-appointments linked to Indiana University Board of Trustees, former deans with ties to Purdue University Fort Wayne, and educators recognized by bodies such as the Fulbright Program, Guggenheim Foundation, Spencer Foundation, Carnegie Corporation, and National Endowment for the Humanities. Faculty expertise includes scholars active in associations like the American Educational Research Association, Association of Teacher Educators, National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, Phi Delta Kappa International, and editorial roles for journals such as Educational Researcher and Teachers College Record.
