Indiana University is the managing partner. IUPUI offers undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees from both [[Indiana University system|Indiana University]] and [[Purdue University]]. IUPUI completed a fundraising campaign in 2004 that generated over $1 billion, one of only 22 universities in the United States to achieve this.{{ref_label|campaign|3|3}}{{ref_label|campaign2|4|4}} ==Academics== [[Image:IUPUI-Library-trees.JPG|thumb|200px|left|IUPUI's University Library]]IUPUI offers more than 180 undergraduate majors and ranks among the top fifteen in the country in the number of first professional degrees it confers and among the top seven in the number of health-related degrees. It is the home campus to 70 graduate and professional degrees, including the [[Indiana University School of Medicine]], the [[Indiana University School of Law Indianapolis]], [[Indiana University School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI]],and the [[Indiana University School of Dentistry]]. The school also boasts the Indiana University School of Nursing, the Indiana University School of Social Work, the Indiana University School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, the Indiana University School of [[Informatics]], the Center on Philanthropy, the Purdue School of Science and the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology. Created in 1999, the IU School of Informatics is the nation's first such school. IUPUI, along with IUB, hosts the first Ph.D. program in Informatics in the United States. The program offers tracks in bioinformatics, chemical informatics, health informatics, human-computer interaction and social informatics.{{ref_label|informatics|5|5}} IUPUI has more students from Indiana than any other campus in the state. It also has the largest population of graduate and professional students of any university campus in Indiana. Almost 75 percent of IUPUI classes have 25 or fewer students. IUPUI also has the most ethnically diverse student body in the Indiana University system.{{Fact|date=July 2007}} Because of the school of medicine and other graduate schools, IUPUI hosts research on infectious disease, cancer and degenerative disorders. IUPUI houses three major editorial and research projects in the history of American ideas: * The Peirce Edition Project, which is preparing a critical chronological edition of the writings of the American [[polymath]] [[Charles Peirce]]. The Philosophy Department at IUPUI is world renowned for its excellence in Peirce studies. * The Santayana Edition, preparing a critical edition of the works of the Spanish-born American philosopher and man of letters [[George Santayana]]; * The [[Frederick Douglass]] Edition, preparing a critical edition of the writings of the 19th century journalist, orator, abolitionist, and [[Afro-American]] leader. The IUPUI University Library is a leader in the application of technology to library services. IUPUI is participating in [[Internet 2]] development. The project is housed in the Informatics, Communication & Information Technology Building (ICTC). ===Schools and Divisions=== * '''[[Herron School of Art|IU Herron School of Art and Design]]''' * '''[[Kelley School of Business|IU Kelley School of Business]]''' * '''[[Indiana University School of Dentistry]]''' ** containing the Departments of: Oral Biology • Oral Facial Development • Oral Pathology, Medicine & Radiology • Oral Surgery and Hospital Dentistry • Periodontics & Allied Dental Programs (itself composed of the divisions of: Periodontics; [[dental hygienist|Dental Hygiene]]; Dental Assisting) • Preventive and Community Dentistry • Restorative Dentistry * '''IU School of Education''' * '''Purdue School of Engineering and Technology''' ** containing the Departments of: Biomedical Engineering • Computer and Information Technology • Construction Technology • Electrical and Computer Engineering • Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology • Mechanical Engineering • Mechanical Engineering Technology • Organizational Leadership and Supervision * '''IU School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences''' ** containing the Departments of: Health Sciences • Nutrition and Dietetics • Occupational Therapy • Physical Therapy * '''IU School of Informatics''' **containing the Departments of: Health Informatics Administration and New Media. * '''IU School of Journalism''' * '''IU Division of Labor Studies''' * '''[[Indiana University School of Law Indianapolis|IU School of Law]]''' * '''[[IU School of Liberal Arts]]''' ** containing the Departments of: Anthropology • Communication Studies • Economics • English • Geography • History • Philosophy • Political Science • Religious Studies • Sociology • World Languages and Cultures * '''IU School of Library and Information Science''' * '''[[Indiana University School of Medicine|IU School of Medicine]]''' ** containing the Departments of: Anatomy and Cell Biology • Anesthesia • Biochemistry and Molecular Biology • Cellular and Integrative Physiology • Dermatology • Family Medicine • Medical and Molecular Genetics • Medicine • Microbiology and Immunology • Neurology • Obstetrics and Gynecology • Ophthalmology • Orthopaedic Surgery • Otolaryngology • Pathology and Laboratory Medicine • Pharmacology and Toxicology • Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation • Psychiatry • Radiation Oncology • Radiology • Urology * '''IU School of Music''' * '''IU School of Nursing''' * '''IU School of Physical Education and Tourism Management''' ** containing the Departments of: Military Science • Tourism, Conventions, and Event Management * '''[[Indiana University School of Public and Environmental Affairs|IU School of Public and Environmental Affairs]]''' ** containing the Departments of: Health Administration • Public Affairs ** containing the Indiana University Center for Health Policy * '''IU School of Social Work''' * '''Purdue School of Science''' ** containing the Departments of: Biology • Chemistry and Chemical Biology (including Forensic Science) • Computer and Information Science • Earth Sciences• Mathematical Sciences • Physics • Psychology ===Accreditation=== IUPUI as a whole has been accredited by The Higher Learning Commission of the [[North Central Association of Colleges and Schools]] continuously since [[1970]].[http://www.ncahlc.org/index.php?option=com_directory&Action=ShowBasic&instid=1195] [[ABET]] has continuously accredited IUPUI's following bachelors degrees since the date listed: Computer Engineering 2003, Computer Integrated Manufacturing Technology 1995, Construction Technology 1995, Electrical Engineering 1978, Electrical Engineering Technology 1971, Mechanical Engineering 1978, and Mechanical Engineering Technology 1970.

The historically most prestigious portions of IUPUI are the professional graduate schools and the art school: [[Indiana University School of Medicine]], [[Indiana University School of Law Indianapolis]], [[Indiana University School of Liberal Arts]], the Indiana University School of Dentistry, and the Indiana University Herron School of Art, all of which were established decades prior to the 1969 merger into one institution. In particular, the Indiana University School of Medicine and the Indiana University School of Dentistry in Indianapolis are not merely regional branches of programs at some main campus in the [[Indiana University|Indiana University System]] or the [[Purdue University System]]. The School of Medicine and School of Dentistry are the only degree-granting [[public university]] programs of medicine and dentistry in Indiana and have been since becoming part of Indiana University. The vision for an IUPUI first was inspired by the formation of the Indiana Purdue Foundation in [[Fort Wayne, Indiana|Fort Wayne]] in [[1958]] for the creation of what has become [[IPFW]]. Fort Wayne's Indiana Purdue Foundation is unrelated to IUPUI, but the formation of such a joint venture between Indiana's two largest university systems inspired metropolitan and state government leaders in Indianapolis to consider the same type of merger for their disparate Indiana University professional graduate schools, Indiana University undergraduate extension center, and Purdue University undergraduate extension center. The School of Medicine's large campus west of downtown Indianapolis was chosen to be the site of what was to become IUPUI. Prior to forming IUPUI, other Indiana University and Purdue University schools were located at various locations within and near downtown Indianapolis. With the formation of IUPUI and the relocation of those academic units to the IUPUI campus adjoining the School of Medicine's Medical Center, some of those academic units for the first time were housed in buildings designed at time of construction for academic use, instead of business-office buildings as had been the case previously for the undergraduate extension centers. ==Athletics== <!-- Commented out because image was deleted: [[Image:Iupui natatorium.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Swim Meet at the Natatorium at IUPUI]] --> IUPUI's teams—the [[IUPUI Jaguars|Jaguar]]s—compete at the [[Division I]] level in [[The Summit League]]. The Jaguars have earned NCAA Tournament bids in [[NCAA Men's Soccer Championship|Men's Soccer]], Men's Golf, [[NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship|Men's Basketball]] and Women's Tennis, as well as a Mid-Continent Conference (now The Summit League) championship in [[Volleyball]] and [[Men's Tennis]]. Nine athletes have been recognized as Mid-Con Athletes of the Year, with seven coaches earning Coach of the Year honors. Prior to 1995, the teams were known as the Metros and were [[Division II]]. IUPUI's athletic teams have also excelled in the classroom. The women's tennis team has been chosen as an All-Academic Team by the [[Intercollegiate Tennis Association]] for three consecutive years; collectively, they have maintained an almost C-average for those three years.{{Fact|date=July 2007}} The men's cross country team has been recognized by the [[United State Cross Country Coaches Association]] as Academic All-American the past two seasons, while the women’s team earned the same honor from the [[Women's Intercollegiate Cross Country Coaches Association]] twice. In 2001-02, the women's basketball team was selected by the [[Women's Basketball Coaches Association]] to its Top 25 Honor Roll. In the fall of 2002, the athletic department as a whole was honored by [[USA Today]] and the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]] for having the highest improvement in graduation rate in the country for its category. In 2003, the athletic department as a whole was honored by [[USA Today]] once again for having the largest discrepancy in graduation rates from the athletics department and general student population.{{Fact|date=July 2007}} The campus is the home of the Indiana University Natatorium, one of the fastest [[swimming pool]]s in the world{{Fact|date=July 2007}} and Michael A. Carroll Stadium, home of the 2006 & 2007 USA Track & Field Championships. Additionally, the 1987 Pan-American Games were hosted on the IUPUI campus, while IUPUI also served as the annual site for the Nike All-America Basketball Camp until 2007. The Indianapolis Tennis Center is also on the IUPUI campus and has served, since 1979, as the home of the Indianapolis Tennis Championships (formerly the RCA Championships). ==Campus== [[Image:IUPUI-Cavanaugh-trees.JPG|thumb|left|Cavanaugh Hall]] The IUPUI campus covers 510 acres and is located just west of downtown near the [[Indianapolis Zoo]], Downtown Canal Walk, and [[White River State Park]]. It is adjacent to the Indiana Avenue cultural district. In [[2004]] & [[2005]], new residence halls, the Informatics, Communication & Information Technology Building (ICTC), and Eskenazi Hall, the new home of the [[Herron School of Art|Herron School of Art & Design]] were completed on campus. The zip code for the entire campus is 46202. A new Campus Center was completed in Fall 2008 and is now open. The Campus Center Boasts a 179-foot bell tower made of limestone and glass. The Campus Center houses Enrollment Services, the IUPUI bookstore, Financial Aid, Scholarships, campus dining, game rooms, a theatre, and more.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iupui.edu/~sldweb/campus-center|title=IUPUI Campus Center}}</ref> A new 254,000 square foot research building, Research III, is also under construction. Its completion in 2008 will create a 500,000 square foot research complex with direct connections to Research II and the IU Cancer Research Institute, as well as a skyway connection to the Clarian People Mover. Campus housing has the capacity for 1,060 students in a traditional residence hall (Ball Residence) and the Campus Apartments on the River Walk, which opened in 2004. Another residence hall is going to be built in order to accommodate 1,000 more students. A large collection of archival photographs of the campus can be found in the [http://indiamond6.ulib.iupui.edu/IUPUIPhotos/home.html IUPUI Image Collection]. Ralph D. Gray's book ''IUPUI--the Making of an Urban University'' (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2003) is a comprehensive published account of the history of the campus. ==Notable alumni== *[[Dan Quayle]] (Law 1974) - former [[Vice President]] of the [[United States of America]][http://iupui.edu/spirit/alumni] *[[Dan Coats]] (Law 1971) - former member of [[United States Senate]] and [[United States House of Representatives]] *[[Samuel D.
