IWU Campuses

IWU’s oldest and largest campus is its main campus located on the south side of Marion, Ind. The first classes at this location were held in 1890 by a prior institution. In 1920 IWU took possession of the original several acres and has grown it into the 220-acre campus it is today. And it hasn’t stopped growing yet.

With the addition of the Lewis A. Jackson Library in the center of campus, IWU’s leadership has decided that no additional green space will be taken for new buildings. Higher levels of enrollment are projected again in 2003 and into the foreseeable future. This means IWU is expanding its boundaries to the land surrounding its campus. More residence halls and classroom buildings are being planned for 2003 on adjacent land.

The campus has changed greatly over its 112-year history. As it has grown it has added six additional facilities, four in Ind., one in Kentucky and one in Ohio (scheduled to open summer 2003).

  2. IWU will break ground on its next residence hall during the spring of 2003. It will be located on the northeast edge of campus, along Nebraska Street, across from Reed Hall. It will be ready by fall 2004.
  3. Remodeling of the Goodman Library began in January 2003 and will be completed prior to the start of the 2003 fall semester. The building will become the new homes for the faculty and students of two academic divisions within the College of Arts and Sciences. The Division of Education will use the first floor, and the Division of Modern Language, Literature, and Communication the second.
College of Adult & Professional Studies Education Centers
When IWU’s leadership laid the foundation for its Adult & Professional Studies programs, one of its first commitments was to provide courses and services in a convenient manner that fit the busy life styles of working adults. This decision in 1983 set IWU on a new path in its organization structure, staffing and facilities.

From the way students register for their classes at one time when they enroll, to how IWU delivers course materials directly to the students wherever they may be, IWU’s College of Adult & Professional Studies has made class registration quick, simple and convenient.

From the more than 80 locations in Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio, to delivering courses and degree online around the globe, IWU’s College of Adult & Professional Studies has made the commitment to bring the college courses, degrees and programs directly into students’ communities and homes, saving them time and money.

Since its inception, the College of Adult & Professional Studies has opened five campuses. Enrollment has seen consistent increases since CAPS opened its doors in 1985. In September 2002, enrollment reached 6,286.
