Indiana State University has been guiding students toward successful careers since 1865. Our close-knit learning community combines the personal attention of a smaller campus with the life-changing opportunities of a comprehensive public university.

Located in downtown Terre Haute, Indiana State serves nearly 8,000 students through more than 100 undergraduate and nearly 70 graduate degree programs. Areas of study range from business and healthcare to education, aviation, STEM disciplines, social sciences, and the arts and humanities. A 16:1 student-faculty ratio helps professors provide students with individualized support and mentorship.

Outside the classroom, Sycamores engage with 260+ student organizations, cheer on NCAA Division I athletics, and participate in campus activities and traditions that highlight campus and community spirit.

Indiana State focuses on students’ complete educational experience, including hands-on activities like internships, research, community projects, and clinical placements, along with immersive experiences like study abroad. The Indiana State Advantage provides a one-time Experience Grant valued up to $3,000 to help support these opportunities.

A 97 percent placement rate illustrates the confidence employers have in Sycamore graduates, who join an alumni network 100,000+ strong. Indiana State students plant roots, stand tall, and branch out into successful futures, creating meaningful change in their communities along the way.
