Established in 1964, Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) is the largest university in northeast Indiana. As the state’s Multisystem Metropolitan University, we are uniquely positioned to serve the region as a crossroads of intellectual, social, economic, and cultural advancement and continue to expand our global reach through research, scholarship, and creative expression. IPFW combines challenging academics with a focus on student success across more than 200 Indiana University and Purdue University degree programs, taught by over 350 full-time faculty. Approximately 12,000 students of diverse ages, races, and nationalities in our family pursue their education on our almost 700-acre campus. Nearly half of our students are first-generation college students and 15% are from underrepresented populations. And almost 75% of IPFW students receive some form of financial assistance to achieve their academic and career goals. Nearly half of IPFW’s vast alumni network—57,000 and growing—live and work in northeast Indiana, contributing to the region’s economy, vitality, and intellectual strength.
