University of Indiana - Definition and Overview

The Indiana University system, technically founded in 1820, is an eight-campus university system in the state of Indiana. Frequently it is referred to incorrectly as the "University of Indiana." The IU system includes the following locations:

• Indiana University Bloomington in Bloomington, Indiana (main campus)
• Indiana University East in Richmond, Indiana
• Indiana University Kokomo in Kokomo, Indiana
• Indiana University Northwest in Gary, Indiana
• Indiana University South Bend in South Bend, Indiana

The system also operates three regional campuses in cooperation with Purdue University:

• IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis) in Indianapolis

• Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus in Columbus

The IUPUI campus also hosts the Indiana University Medical Center, the Indiana University School of Law - Indianapolis, and the Indiana University School of Dentistry, all of which are on IUPUI's campus but technically independent of IUPUI.

The number of students at Indiana University is 94,212; the majority of these students study at the main Bloomington campus (36,473 students) and at IUPUI (28,524 students) [ spring 2004 ].
