Built for change

At IUPUI, we believe in the power of transformation. We’re the product of a one-of-a-kind partnership between two Big Ten universities — Indiana University and Purdue University — and a devoted connection to the city we call home. We're uniquely built to change our students, our city, and the world for the better.

Home to two of Indiana's top universities

It was this commitment that was behind the merger of the Indianapolis campuses of IU and Purdue—some of which are more than 100 years old—that won accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission in 1969, creating IUPUI.

And it’s what binds us together today. We’re now Indiana’s premier urban research university offering more than 550 undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs from Indiana University and Purdue University.

Creating a welcoming, inclusive, and accessible campus

IUPUI established the Welcoming Campus Initiative in 2016, and is committed to listening to the voices and needs of our students and our community. This initiative aims to make our campus a more welcoming place for everyone. Through a series of task forces, town halls, and focus groups, we’ve begun to identify ways we can change our campus for the better—and we’re dedicated to finding even more.

We ask tough, student-centered questions and then work diligently to improve. Our campus aims for total inclusivity and accessibility, and does so through anti-racism initiatives, listening to underrepresented voices, and fostering global consciousness in our community.
