- Founded in 1801, VU is now embarking on its third century of providing top quality
education. VU is Indiana's first college and is one of the oldest in America. It is the birthplace of one of the nation's first two-year institutions of higher learning.
- Founded by U.S. President William Henry Harrison,VU is located in Indiana's first city, Vincennes, once the capital of the vast Indiana Territory. The modern, 120-acre Vincennes campus is surrounded by historical treasures, such as Harrison's frontier mansion, the George Rogers Clark National Historical Park--site of an American Revolutionary War battle--and the legendary Wabash River. A few steps away, you will find one of the most modern campuses in the state--currently undergoing the largest building expansion in history. Opening this year is VU's new Donald G. Bell Student Recreation Center and the Red Skelton Performing Arts Center.
- Situated on the banks of the Wabash River, the 100-acre VU campus includes more than 30 modern buildings featuring red-brick construction consistent with the first campus building, the 1803 home of VU's founder, William Henry Harrison. The Harrison mansion is open for tours. The campus also features red-brick walkways, abundant landscaping, and easy access to the legendary Wabash River and the George Rogers Clark National Historical Park.
- In addition to our 120-acre, residential campus in Vincennes, we also have a campus in Jasper, an Aviation Technology Center in Indianapolis, and an American Sign Language program at the Indiana School for the Deaf. We also offer classes on military bases across the country.
- In 2001-2002, VU conferred some 1,250 degrees in Arts, Science, and Applied Science,
plus Certificates of Graduation and Certificates of Program Completion. VU students come from all 92 Indiana
counties, 25 other states and 34 foreign countries.
