EnglishWhat Is IU Indianapolis and What Can You Find on Its Website?
Updated
IU Indianapolis (indianapolis.iu.edu) is Indiana University's Indianapolis campus and the city's premier R1 research university. Its website is the main entry point for prospective students and families: you can apply, explore 375+ degrees and certificates, book a campus visit (in person or virtual), and find cost and aid information including bill payment.
What the site tells you about the university
The homepage positions IU Indianapolis as a research hub in healthcare, artificial intelligence, data science, STEM, and the arts and humanities. It cites these figures:
| Metric | Figure |
|---|---|
| Degrees and certificates | 375+ |
| Research funding | $37M+ |
| Students who stay in Indiana after graduation | 88% |
| Students who graduate debt free | 56% |
The site also describes campus life in the capital city ("Experience the capital city," "Live the Jaguar life") and links to student life content and news and events.
Main sections and what each is for
- Admissions — apply to IU Indianapolis, and a separate "You're admitted! What's next?" path for students who have been accepted.
- Degrees and majors — undergraduate, graduate, online, and doctoral degree options.
- Visits — schedule an on-campus visit or take a virtual tour; a "Plan Your Visit" page supports trip planning.
- Cost and aid — a pay-your-bill area with make-a-payment, payment options, using financial aid, payment due dates, past-due accounts, and payments from sponsors, donors, and scholarships.
- Student life — ways to get involved, give back, and have fun.
- Request information — a form for prospective students who want to hear from the university.
Who the site is for
The site is built around prospective students and their families. The homepage's first call to action is aimed at students planning to enroll: "Tell us you're IU Indianapolis bound by reserving your spot for Fall 2026, scheduling an on-campus visit, or taking a virtual tour!" Current students and families with bills to pay use the cost-and-aid section, while anyone still deciding can start with degrees and majors or a visit.
A practical starting path
If you are considering IU Indianapolis, a sensible sequence is: browse degrees and majors to find a program, request information or book a visit to see the campus, then move to admissions to apply. Once admitted, follow the "What's next?" steps, and use the cost-and-aid pages to understand payment options and due dates. The site does not publish tuition figures on the pages summarized here, so check the cost-and-aid section directly for current amounts and deadlines.
