IU School of Health & Human Sciences

What IU School of Health & Human Sciences does

The IU School of Health & Human Sciences (SHHS) is an academic unit within Indiana University Indianapolis, a public university system governed by The Trustees of Indiana University. Founded in 2020 and headquartered at 1050 Wishard Boulevard in Indianapolis with additional facilities at 901 W. New York Street and the National Institute of Fitness and Sport, SHHS delivers degree and credential programs across seven academic departments: Exercise & Kinesiology, Health Sciences, Nutrition & Dietetics, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Physician Assistant Studies, and Tourism, Event, Hospitality & Sport Management (TESM). The portfolio spans B.S., M.S., Ph.D., professional doctoral (OTD, DPT), and MPAS degrees, alongside standalone certificates (Gerontology, Rehabilitation & Disability Studies, Personal Training, Sport Destination Development) and minors. Specialized facilities include the Teaching Kitchen for nutrition, Human Performance and Biomechanics Laboratories, simulation equipment for clinical programs, and the Sports Innovation Institute.

Underlying technology is standard educational infrastructure rather than proprietary IP: Canvas LMS for course delivery, Stellic/One.IU for degree tracking and course prerequisites, and Handshake for internship and employer connections. Distinctive experiential assets include Camp Brosius, a 100+ year university-owned property on Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, hosting the KINE-R 275 leadership development course, and the GoBabyGo! service-learning initiative (with Toyota) where physical therapy and engineering students modify ride-on vehicles for children with developmental delays.

The business model is a public-university tuition and appropriation model. Revenue streams include tuition and fees from degree and certificate enrollment, donations and endowments channeled through the IU Foundation, and government and private research grants. The school offers over 70 scholarships totaling $220,000 awarded annually, processed through the Blackbaud Award Management system with February 1 deadlines for most awards. Go-to-market is sales-led via IU Indianapolis admissions, event-driven through campus visits and open houses, and community-led through Handshake-mediated career pipelines. Strategic industry partnerships — with Toyota, Indianapolis Colts, Eli Lilly, White Lodging, and Heilbronn University — support required internships, co-ops, and student research rather than direct commercial revenue.
