IU Indianapolis: A Rising Star in Higher Education

Since its split from IUPUI in 2024, IU Indy has been on a remarkable upward trajectory—and the results speak for themselves.

📈 Enrollment on the Rise

Freshman enrollment jumped 10% in year one, and the momentum is building, with projections for nearly 20% growth this year. The message is clear: students are responding to the university’s fresh energy, renewed focus, and expanded opportunities.

🏗️ A Landmark Campus Expansion

IU Indy recently broke ground on a massive 11-story, 326,000 square foot building that will become a new hub for medical education and research. This cutting-edge facility will not only elevate IU’s health sciences programs, but it also signals a deep investment in the city’s future workforce and public health innovation.

🏙️ Shifting Toward a Full Campus Experience

Long known as a commuter school, IU Indy is now seeing growing demand for campus housing, a strong indicator that students want more of the traditional, connected college experience—right in downtown Indianapolis.

💬 Leadership With Purpose

Chancellor Latha Ramchand calls these developments “a major stride,” reinforcing the university’s commitment to growing its reach, impact, and academic excellence. The focus now is on student-centered growth—not just in numbers, but in opportunities, quality, and community engagement.
