We are the Region’s University. Indiana University Northwest is the IU campus serving residents of Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland. At IU Northwest, students have the opportunity to earn a world-renowned IU degree while remaining close to home. We offer more than 70 undergraduate degrees from within the School of Education, College of Arts and Sciences, School of the Arts, College of Health and Human Services, School of Business and Economics, Nursing, Public and Environmental Affairs, and a variety of master’s degree and certificate programs. IU Northwest offers more than 20 graduate degree and certificate programs for professionals or postgraduates seeking to advance their career. We are also home to the IU School of Medicine – Northwest, which serves as the region's only medical school. Our students enjoy the services and opportunities of a large university combined with the advantages and atmosphere of a small college. More than 74 percent of our faculty have doctorates or the highest degree available in their field; but with a faculty-student ratio of 1 to 16, students enjoy small class size and personal attention. Students receive academic and career support services to help them succeed in the classroom and after graduation. We boast an alumni network of more than 27,000 professionals who are making important contributions in fields ranging from business and law to health care and education. IU Northwest is affordable and accessible. We offer manageable payment plans and an estimated 75 percent of our students receive financial aid, 45 percent of which receive some form of gift aid. If you live or work in Northwest Indiana or just across the border in Illinois, we’re accessible by major highways. Courses are offered days, evenings and weekends and online.
