A Welcome from the
Vice Provost
Welcome to Indiana University! As you explore our web site, please recognize that the goal of our organization is to provide outstanding service to the students, parents, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of Indiana University.
Academic challenges, interesting people, superb faculty, opportunities for success, endless activities and a beautiful campus all await you at Indiana University. Located in the rolling hills of southern Indiana, Bloomington is the quintessential college town: active, intellectual, young, friendly, relaxed and safe. It's a small city with cultural resources and opportunities rivaling those of cities many times it's size. Here you will find coffeehouses, live music, festivals, bookstores, open air markets, historical architecture, cafes, restaurants, lakes, parks, museums, theatres and so much more. All this, plus Big Ten athletics!
Today's students have many choices among colleges and universities; you are mobile enough to go where you choose among institutions of higher education. Our job begins with showing students and parents what you will gain by choosing Indiana University for your undergraduate or graduate education, followed by providing high quality service to enhance the learning experience during your years in Bloomington. We acknowledge the significant commitment we ask of parents today. We ask parents to entrust us with the future of the person that matters most in your life - your child. It is a significant responsibility and one that we take very seriously. If given the opportunity to welcome your student to Indiana University we will not let you down.
Lastly, a special message to our potential students - come visit! We believe we have much to offer at IU, from our world renowned Jacobs School of Music to the Kelley School of Business, to all of our highly ranked programs in just about anything you can imagine. The academic foundation at Indiana University is one which is consistently ranked among the very best universities in the world. If all this sounds appealing to you, we hope you will come visit us.
In summary, I strongly believe that Indiana University has much to offer to potential students and we would enjoy the opportunity to share this wonderful campus and university with you! If you visit and enroll, I feel confident you will not be disappointed!
