At Indiana Wesleyan University, we seek to grow our students inside and outside of the classroom.
As preparation for the careers that will follow graduation, every academic division has a variety of practicum and extracurricular offerings that all begin with a vision of excellence for their students. These real-life experiences give our students the opportunity to learn both fundamental and advanced concepts that can be difficult to fully grasp in a classroom.
Check out what kinds of real-life experiences our students are exploring right here on campus, and where some of our alumni are now!
McConn Coffee Company
McConn Coffee Company, the second largest coffee shop in Indiana, is just one of four student-run businesses that are all housed in the Barnes Student Center. Students collaborate to manage, market and sustain these start-ups in a learning environment that allows them to consult with experienced professors. Learn more by visiting the McConn Coffee Company website.
Hodson Summer Research
Interested in Chemistry, Biology, Physics or a related subject? Conduct original research at the 10-week Hodson Summer Research Institute as a paid researcher. Students partner with faculty members pursuing research related to osteoporosis, visual processing in the retina, HIV, chemical-genetic techniques in cancer signaling pathways, sustainable agriculture and mouse model studies related to understanding obesity.
