With just over 5,000 students, we’re relatively small as far as universities go. That’s a good thing—it means classes are more personally engaging and professors are always available to help.

Why Indiana? (link)

We are known widely as the ‘crossroads of America’ due to our central location in the United States. We border Lake Michigan and the state of Michigan to the north, Ohio to the east, Kentucky to the south, and Illinois to the west, placing us in the heart of the American Midwest. The people of Indiana are known for their hospitality to people as well as ideas. With open-mindedness and kindheartedness, we support a diverse cultural environment from our vibrant metropolitan areas to our picturesque small towns and peaceful countryside.
