On many large university campuses, it’s unusual to spend time elbow to elbow with world-class faculty working on exciting and ground-breaking research from day one. At Indiana University, the Learning Sciences program puts students side by side with professors who quickly bring the student into the academic mix. Mentoring and learning start immediately. And, these faculty are working faculty — applying their research to real-world learning problems.
“Because it’s a small faculty, I’m on a first name basis with all of my professors, and I interact with two of them daily or at least weekly. I talk with my adviser almost everyday.” Tyler Christensen — second-year doctoral student
