Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) was established in 1969 in Indianapolis, the United States. However, its roots can be traced back to 1891, when Indiana University started classes in Indianapolis. The university as it is today was established in 1969 with the merger of Indiana University and Purdue University.
Indianapolis, known locally as Indy, is the state of Indiana’s capital city.
The university has 17 schools and two colleges offering over 550 undergraduate, graduate and professional programmes. The schools and colleges include: dentistry; education; engineering and technology; health and human sciences; art and design; informatics and computing; business; liberal arts; philanthropy; law; medicine; nursing; public and environmental affairs; public health; science; and social work. When students take a course in one of these faculties, they can choose to take classes online, on campus, or a mix of the two.
Students can also choose to participate in a study abroad programme while at university, on either a short or long term basis. Past students have gone on to study in the UK, Belize, The British Virgin Islands and over 80 other countries around the world.
Students can join over 500 student organisations or join a sporting club.
