List of colleges and universities in Indiana

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are approximately 60 colleges and universities of various types, not counting branch campuses, in the U.S. state of Indiana. The Higher Learning Commission is the institutional accrediting agency that has historically accredited many colleges and universities in Indiana.

Additionally, Indiana is home to three public university systems: Indiana University, the Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana, and the Purdue University System.

This list does not include non-independent branch campuses such as Purdue University in Indianapolis or Vincennes University's Jasper campus. Independent regional campuses, such as Indiana University Kokomo, are included.

Indiana has several universities that meet the definition of a flagship institution, with the most commonly cited being Indiana University Bloomington and Purdue University. The Indiana state code designates the Indiana University System as the university of the state.[1]
