School Information
"As Indiana’s premier urban public research university, IUPUI believes in the power of transformation. We are committed to providing educational opportunities that transform the lives of our students, our community, and the changing world around us... "It was this commitment that was behind the merger of the Indianapolis campuses and programs of IUPUI—some of which are more than 100 years old—that won accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission in 1969, creating IUPUI. "And it’s what binds us together today. We’re now Indiana’s premier urban research university offering more than 450 undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs from Indiana University and Purdue University." The university enrolls over 30,300 students and employs over 2,500 faculty.
