Our faculty's research covers issues at the forefront of public policy priorities: Ensuring a strong economy and low unemployment, advancing social justice, reducing the budget deficit, maintaining an effective and efficient educational system, reducing crime, preparing for the challenges of climate change, improving the country’s energy and transportation infrastructure, and much more.
O’Neill faculty on the Indianapolis campus address those issues by engaging in highly interdisciplinary research in many areas. Their research expertise is transferred directly into the classroom to bring students the most current knowledge and teach them the appropriate skills to address issues in their community, the state, and the nation.
