    University of Southern Indiana Summary

    Increase your salary, get your degree in your spare time - FREE Application to University of Phoenix for a limited time

    The University of Southern Indiana (USI) is a public university in Evansville, Indiana. This publicly-funded institution is rapidly growing and is the fastest growing comprehensive state university in Indiana. The University of Southern Indiana began in 1965 as a regional branch of Indiana State University, which is located in Terre Haute. The relationship with Indiana State University was an awkward one from the start. A coordinated effort was made to establish the campus as an independent state university. Opposition came immediately from Indiana State University along with Indiana and Purdue universities, which were concerned that granting the campus independence would set a precedence for other small branch campuses around the state. Orr signed the school’s charter and started a new chapter as the University of Southern Indiana. Since gaining its independence, USI’s growth has continued to where it is now the fastest growing comprehensive university in the state. The University established student housing, diversified the programs offered, and enrollment has more than doubled since gaining its independence. The University reported students came from 90 Indiana counties, 36 other states, and 42 other nations for the 2006-2007 academic year. The number of classrooms has more than doubled since the campus was first opened, but the University is still planning for continued growth. University of Southern Indiana is organized into five degree-granting colleges and two non-degree-granting divisions: USI reported in the 2006-2007 academic year that it employed 557 full-time faculty, lecturers, and academic administrators, and 264 part-time faculty. The Indiana University School of Medicine – Evansville Center, housed in the Health Professions Center, is one of eight regional divisions throughout the state. After the first class of engineering students graduated in May 2006, the University is now eligible to stand for accreditation by the Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology; The University of Southern Indiana Athletic Department is a competitive member of the NCAA Division II and the Great Lakes Valley Conference. Several students took offense to this motto after it was printed on t-shirts and sold outside of the University Center.

    it would be awesome if U.S.I. would pick up a football team. with many near by schools such as Mater Dei, and Reitz developing so many execelent athletes, it would be nice to see more of them playing on a new level.
