O'Neill Indianapolis Major in Making a Difference at the O'Neill School of Public & Environmental Affairs IU Indianapolis O'Neill: Major in Making a Difference

At the O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, students learn how to create safe, sustainable, and thriving communities. Our students learn how to work in government, nonprofit, and business roles to make positive changes in their communities, states, countries, and the world. O'Neill graduates lead the organizations that make and enforce laws, keep communities livable and safe, shape

smart public policy, protect the planet, and help our fellow citizens. Through the combined study of media and public affairs, civic leadership, management, policy studies, criminal justice and public safety, O'Neill students develop both the practical and philosophical skills that prepare them to develop solutions to society's problems. O'Neill is proud to be part of Indiana University, located in the heart of downtown Indianapolis.
