Formed 35 years ago with the merger of Indiana and Purdue Universities’ Indianapolis campuses, IUPUI has grown dramatically and become Indiana’s third-largest campus with nearly 30,000 students from all states, the District of Columbia, and 124 countries. The institution’s dedication to outstanding undergraduate and graduate education is complemented by the presence of professional schools in medicine, dentistry, nursing, law, business and social work – IUPUI confers more professional degrees than any other campus in Indiana. IUPUI is adjacent to downtown Indianapolis, the state’s capital and largest city. IUPUI’s location enhances opportunities for interaction and collaboration with business, scientific and political leaders of local industry and government. Administrators, faculty, staff and students from many IUPUI units are actively involved with local public-private economic development initiatives in local and state government, life science and health care, information science, and advanced manufacturing.
