With more than 99,000 students on its eight Indiana campuses; with study abroad opportunities, teaching exchanges, and research partnerships on five continents; with 400,000 alumni worldwide; and with its commitment to providing high quality education to traditional and nontraditional students, Indiana University is both an internationally ranked institution of higher education and a great public university.

At Indiana University, students who cannot attend traditional on campus classes may earn certification, certificates, and undergraduate and graduate degrees not only via traditional classroom courses taught at on- and off-campus sites, but also via hundreds of courses available through independent study by correspondence and through such technologies as computers, the World Wide Web, online conferencing, electronic mail, CD-ROMs, videotapes, virtual reality software, and interactive television. Indiana University’s use of technology to deliver academic programs has in fact contributed to its being hailed as one of “America’s most electronically-wired” universities.

Indiana University Northwest (IUN) provides high quality undergraduate and graduate programs that enrich the lives of northwest Indiana’s diverse urban, rural, industrial, and metropolitan population. IUN’s 191 full-time faculty members teach in more than 70 programs leading to certificates and associate’s, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees in allied health, fine arts, business, general studies, education, liberal arts, nursing, public affairs, and the sciences.

The IUN student body numbers approximately 5,500; more than 600 of these students are enrolled in graduate studies. Representing northwest Indiana’s rich economic, cultural, and racial diversity, students come with family backgrounds in steel and related industries, government agencies, service industries, the professions, and farming. About 85 percent of students work full- or part-time while pursuing their education at IUN. About 63 percent are 22 years old or older.
