Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis Summary
The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.
Indiana University–Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI) is the university campus of Indiana University located in Indianapolis, Indiana. IUPUI offers undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees from both Indiana University and Purdue University. It is the home campus to 70 graduate and professional degrees, including the Indiana University School of Medicine, the Indiana University School of Law Indianapolis, and the Indiana University School of Dentistry. The school also boasts the Indiana University School of Nursing, the Indiana University School of Social Work, the Indiana University School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, the Indiana University School of Informatics, the Purdue School of Science and the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology. Largely because of the school of medicine, the campus has more sponsored research than either Indiana University Bloomington or Purdue University West Lafayette. The historically most prestigious portions of IUPUI are the professional graduate schools and the art school: Indiana University School of Medicine, Indiana University School of Law Indianapolis, the Indiana University School of Dentistry, and the Indiana University Herron School of Art, all of which were established decades prior to the 1969 merger into one institution. In particular, the Indiana University School of Medicine and the Indiana University School of Dentistry in Indianapolis are not merely regional branches of programs at some main campus in the Indiana University System or the Purdue University System. The School of Medicine and School of Dentistry are the only degree-granting public university programs of medicine and dentistry in Indiana and have been since becoming part of Indiana University. Fort Wayne’s Indiana Purdue Foundation is unrelated to IUPUI, but the formation of such a joint venture between Indiana’s two largest university systems inspired metropolitan and state government leaders in Indianapolis to consider the same type of merger for their disparate Indiana University professional graduate schools, Indiana University undergraduate extension center, and Purdue University undergraduate extension center. Prior to forming IUPUI, other Indiana University and Purdue University schools were located at various locations within and near downtown Indianapolis. With the formation of IUPUI and the relocation of those academic units to the IUPUI campus adjoining the School of Medicine’s Medical Center, some of those academic units for the first time were housed in buildings designed at time of construction for academic use, instead of business-office buildings as had been the case previously for the undergraduate extension centers. Gray’s book IUPUI—the Making of an Urban University (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2003) is a comprehensive published account of the history of the campus.
