Indiana University Southeast

What Indiana University Southeast does

Indiana University Southeast (IU Southeast) is a public regional campus of Indiana University, founded in 1941 as Jefferson Center and operating as a four-year institution since 1971. Located on a 180-acre campus in New Albany, Indiana, directly across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky, IU Southeast serves approximately 3,750 students from the Kentuckiana region. It is one of five regional campuses in the Indiana University system and is governed by the Trustees of Indiana University. The institution offers more than 150 undergraduate and over 50 graduate degree programs, plus certificate programs, pre-professional tracks, and 60+ minors across five academic schools (Arts and Letters, Business, Education, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences).

The academic portfolio spans on-campus, online, and hybrid delivery, anchored on the Canvas learning management system and the One.IU administrative portal. Supporting infrastructure includes five residence halls with required meal plans, a Career Development Center, the ACES advising service for undecided students, a Writing Center, and a Student Central integrated services hub for billing, registration, and financial aid. IU Southeast competes in NAIA athletics (9 teams under the "Grenadiers" brand) and supports 100+ student organizations. The technology stack is conventional for higher education: Canvas LMS, One.IU portal, Handshake for career placement, and standard web analytics (Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity). No proprietary AI/ML systems, named models, or differentiated technology assets are indicated in the input.

Revenue is generated through banded undergraduate tuition (a single rate for 12–18 credit hours, with per-credit pricing outside that band), graduate program tuition, housing and dining fees, alumni giving, and state appropriations from the State of Indiana. Pricing is positioned as the most affordable four-year degree in the Kentuckiana region, with Kentucky residents in 10 eligible counties receiving in-state tuition through reciprocity and non-reciprocity Kentucky students qualifying for the Indiana Partner Program. Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer via digital marketing and campus visits, supplemented by channel partnerships through transfer pathways from Ivy Tech, JCTC, and KCTCS, plus the UPS Earn and Learn corporate education benefit. The institution reports that 51% of students graduate debt-free and 70% receive scholarships, anchoring an affordability-led value proposition.
