What Indiana University East does

Indiana University East is a public regional campus of the Indiana University system, located in Richmond, Indiana, serving students in Eastern Indiana and Western Ohio. The institution offers over 60 academic programs spanning undergraduate degrees, graduate programs, and professional certificates across business, education, nursing, liberal arts, and professional studies, delivered through three modalities: traditional on-campus instruction, fully online programs (including four-year degree completion), and hybrid formats. Technology infrastructure is shared across the Indiana University system and includes the Canvas learning management system, the One.IU student portal, Microsoft Exchange Online email, and IU cloud storage.

IU East generates revenue primarily through tuition and fees under a banded pricing model, with in-state rates extended to residents of 14 Ohio counties and other Midwest states, supplemented by $26 million in annual financial aid distribution. Distribution operates through a multi-channel GTM approach combining on-campus admissions, virtual visit programs, and community college transfer pathways (notably the Ivy Tech TSAP articulation agreement). The institution also supports 17 NAIA intercollegiate athletics programs competing as the Red Wolves, and engages prospective students across social media platforms. Operationally, IU East is governed by the Indiana University Board of Trustees and functions as a non-traded public higher education institution with no independent capital-raising activity.
