UIndy's Student Outcomes

UIndy, along with the United States Department of Education, strives to make useful information available to enrolled and prospective students. We realize that students are faced with making challenging decisions every day that impact their future in employment and in their personal lives. Because of that, the Higher Education Act and the Higher Education Opportunity Act require institutions of higher learning to make specific information such as student body diversity, and retention and graduation rates, accessible and understandable.

Want more detailed information? UIndy participates in annual enrollment surveys through the IPEDS (Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System) Fall Enrollment Survey. This information is maintained and made available through the National Center for Education Statistics.
