About IHU
A campus, a community, a calling.
Indiana Hoosiers University has spent two centuries teaching, researching, and graduating people who go on to remake their fields.
Our story
Chartered in 1820, IHU began as a small seminary on the edge of the Indiana frontier. Today it is one of the country's pre-eminent residential research universities, with eight schools, a globally ranked music program, and a tradition of intercollegiate athletics that defines fall Saturdays in Bloomington.
What we stand for
We believe a great university is judged by how it treats its undergraduates. Small classes, accessible faculty, and a residential campus model are not accidents of our history — they are the deliberate ingredients of a Hoosier education.
