University of Indianapolis has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 67%. The average net price after financial aid is $21,602 per year.

The University of Indianapolis (UIndy) is a private university in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States, affiliated with the United Methodist Church. It offers associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees. It was founded in 1902 as Indiana Central University and was popularly known as Indiana Central College from 1921 until 1975. In 1986 the name was changed to University of Indianapolis.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — the $18,748 average net price is genuinely affordable, and graduating with around $18,714 in debt is relatively manageable, but a 56% graduation rate and 68% freshman retention rate suggest a meaningful portion of students don't make it to the finish line, which is worth taking seriously. Median earnings of $46,100 a decade out are modest but reasonable for a mid-sized private school in Indianapolis, particularly for students pursuing health professions or education, where this school has real strength. Worth considering if you have a clear major, a plan to stay engaged, and need an affordable private college option in the Midwest — but ask hard questions about support services before committing.
