Overview

IU East, in Richmond, Indiana, is a regional campus of Indiana University serving eastern Indiana and adjoining parts of Ohio. It functions primarily as a commuter and online-friendly campus rather than a traditional residential college, awarding the same Indiana University degrees as the Bloomington flagship in a smaller, more accessible setting.

Academics

Business, nursing, education, and liberal-arts programs make up the bulk of enrollment, taught in small classes by comparison to IU's main campus. The degree carries the Indiana University name and system-wide accreditation despite the campus's smaller scale.

Worth knowing

Many students commute or take courses online, and the campus is built around flexibility for working adults and local students more than a traditional four-year residential experience — this is a practical, access-oriented option within the IU system rather than a scaled-down version of the Bloomington experience.
