About This School
University of Southern Indiana is a public institution located in Evansville, Indiana with approximately 5,292 undergraduate students enrolled. University of Southern Indiana has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 96%. The average net price after financial aid is $12,923 per year.

The University of Southern Indiana (USI) is a public university just outside of Evansville, Indiana, United States. Founded in 1965, USI enrolls 9,750 dual credit, undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students in more than 130 areas of study. USI offers programs through the College of Liberal Arts, Romain College of Business, College of Nursing and Health Professions and the Pott College of Science, Engineering, and Education.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $12,621/year net price and $13,236 in median debt at graduation, the affordability is genuinely strong, making this a reasonable pick for cost-conscious students from the region. However, the 52% graduation rate and 69% freshman retention are real warning signs — nearly one in three students doesn't return after freshman year, which is worth taking seriously. If you're disciplined about finishing and comfortable with median earnings around $40,200 a decade out, this can work, but come in with a clear plan or you risk becoming part of that dropout statistic.
