About This School

Indiana University-Indianapolis is a public institution located in Indianapolis, Indiana with approximately 16,582 undergraduate students enrolled. Indiana University-Indianapolis has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 81%. The average net price after financial aid is $11,408 per year.

Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) was a joint campus of Indiana University and Purdue University in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States, from 1969 to 2024, offering undergraduate, graduate, and professional degrees from both universities. In 2024, IUPUI was split into two separate campuses, namely Indiana University Indianapolis and Purdue University in Indianapolis.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $11,408 average net price and low median debt of $13,337 make this one of the more affordable paths to a degree in Indiana, and the Indianapolis location opens real doors for internships and healthcare careers. That said, the 54% graduation rate is a genuine concern — more than 4 in 10 students don't finish, which is worth asking the school about directly before committing. Worth considering if you're a motivated, self-directed student who can take advantage of the urban setting, but go in with a clear plan and strong support system.
