Students studying communication have a number of unique resources at their disposal as well as a number of communication-related clubs and activities.  Click the link on the left for specific information regarding each.

Many of IU Northwest faculty have adjunct appointments at the Indiana University School of Medicine - Northwest located on campus and also maintain collaborations at other research institutions within the greater metropolitan area. Students on a pre-medical academic track have the added advantage of the proximity of the IU School of Medicine - Northwest.

For those on academic tracks closely aligned with environmental science, the campus boasts an eleven-acre prairie and wetland preserve adjacent to campus as well as the nearby Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, providing ample opportunities for fieldwork.
