College is more than a degree. It’s where you discover who you are and who you’re becoming. At IWU’s Marion campus, you’ll join a vibrant community of over 2,000 students from around the world, rooted in faith and built for connection.
Whether you’re grabbing a coffee at McConn, cheering on the Wildcats, or finding your people in a student org, there’s always somewhere to belong at IWU.
Your future matters to us, even after graduation. That's why eligible graduates of IWU's Marion residential campus who have not secured professional employment, enrolled in graduate school, or entered military service within six months of graduation may qualify for up to six graduate credit hours or two qualifying professional certificates at no additional tuition cost.
