History
The history of IU Southeast goes back to before 1941, when we were a branch campus of Indiana University located in Jeffersonville. Our story actually goes all the way back to elite British soldiers of the 17th century… the Grenadiers!
Education
IU Southeast delivers valuable and respected Indiana University degrees and certificates in more than 50 undergraduate and graduate programs. We are adding programs constantly to keep pace with the emerging needs of the regional and global economy. In addition, students who want a more individualized approach may design their own learning journey via the Honors Program, the Masters in Interdisciplinary Studies and other online and on-campus pathways.

Accreditation
Indiana University Southeast is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (previously known to our campus as North Central), and will undergo accreditation review during the 2019-20 academic year. Because preparing for accreditation review is not like cramming for a final exam, the university has committed itself to a continuing cycle of self-review, as well as to the transparency that will allow each constituent will be as aware of the process as they wish to be.

So Far So Good
Be aware that your loan may be split across two semesters, so make sure you plan your finances carefully and borrow enough to cover your expenses. I'm only a freshman, so I'm still getting familiar with everything, but overall my experience has been positive.
So glad I chose ISU
I am an online student at Indiana State University and I have had an amazing experience. I would highly recommend this school. I spoke to a lot of schools before picking ISU and it was because of the attentive care that I received from my admissions counselor. It was the best decision for me.
Energetic Social‑Science Faculty
The social sciences faculty here is excellent, full of energy and committed to expanding the field. I've had the chance to learn from Dr. Kahn, Dr. Adam, Dr. Adams, and Dr. Lipinski, and they're not only excellent teachers but genuinely great people as well.
