It was a collaboration between [[Indiana University]] and [[Purdue University system|Purdue University]], offering undergraduate, graduate, and professional degrees from both universities. In 2024, IUPUI was split into two separate universities, namely [[Indiana University Indianapolis]] and [[Purdue University in Indianapolis]]. 

Administered primarily through Indiana University as a core campus and secondarily through Purdue University as a regional campus, it was [[Indiana]]'s primary urban research and academic health sciences institution. IUPUI was located in [[downtown Indianapolis]] along the [[White River (Indiana)|White River]] and [[Fall Creek (Indiana)|Fall Creek]].

Among more than 550 degree programs, the [[urban university]] hosted the primary campuses for both the [[Indiana University School of Medicine]], with more than 2,000 students, and the [[Indiana University School of Dentistry]], the only [[dental school]] in the state. Also, the [[Indiana University Robert H.

In 2024, IUPUI was split into two separate universities, [[Indiana University Indianapolis]] and [[Purdue University in Indianapolis]].

==History==

=== Founding ===
In 1968, Maynard K. Hine,<ref>{{cite web|title=Indiana University celebrates official naming of Hine Hall, honoring visionary IUPUI chancellor|publisher=IU Communications 
|url=http://news.iupui.edu/releases/2013/08/hine-hall-naming.shtml |access-date =August 6, 2015 }}</ref> dean of the IU School of Dentistry began working with then-Mayor of Indianapolis [[Richard Lugar]], IU President [[Joseph Sutton (college president)|Joseph L. Sutton]], Purdue President [[Frederick L. Hovde]], and others to establish IUPUI in 1969 through the merger of the Indianapolis extension programs of both IU and Purdue. Some schools, however, were established before the merger, including the IU School of Medicine, IU School of Dentistry, IU Robert H. McKinney School of Law, IU School of Liberal Arts, and IU Herron School of Art.

The student-run newspaper of the former IU extension campus, the ''Onomatopoeia'', and that of the former Purdue University extension campus, the ''Component'', merged in 1971 to form ''The Sagamore'', which operated until 2009.<ref>{{Cite journal |title=Sagamore (Student Newspaper) |url=https://archives.iupui.edu/handle/2450/9995 |access-date=August 17, 2022 |website=IUPUI eArchives Ruth Lilly Special Collections & Archives |archive-date=June 27, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220627100505/https://archives.iupui.edu/handle/2450/9995 |url-status=live }}</ref> Archives are available online.

==Academics==
[[File:IUPUI-Library-trees.JPG|thumb|[[IUPUI University Library]]]]
IUPUI was one of nine campuses of Indiana University and one of five campuses of the [[Purdue University system]]. The campus offered more than 550 degree programs provided by 17 different schools, two of which are [[Purdue University system|Purdue University]] schools.<ref name="IUPUI Degree Programs">{{cite web| title =IUPUI Degree Programs| publisher =IUPUI| url =https://www.iupui.edu/academics/index.html| access-date =December 16, 2021| archive-date =October 24, 2021| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20211024184321/https://www.iupui.edu/academics/index.html| url-status =live}}</ref>

IUPUI had more than 3,800 full-time faculty members. With research funding of more than $629 million in 2024, IUPUI was the second-largest site for research in Indiana.<ref name="IUPUIStats">{{cite web |title=Rankings & Campus Statistics: About |url=https://www.iupui.edu/about/rankings-statistics.html |website=IUPUI |access-date=March 8, 2022 |archive-date=March 8, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220308145653/https://www.iupui.edu/about/rankings-statistics.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

IUPUI included the nation's largest nursing school, the main campus of the largest [[List of medical schools in the United States|medical school in the country]], the only dental school in the state, and the country's oldest school of physical education. IUPUI was among the top 20 campuses in the nation for graduate professional degrees conferred.<ref name="IUPUI Rankings">{{cite web |title=IUPUI Rankings |url=http://news.iupui.edu/releases/2013/08/hine-hall-naming.shtml |access-date=August 6, 2015 |publisher=IU Communications}}</ref>

IUPUI was primarily governed by the IU Board of Trustees. Purdue University degree-granting programs were governed by the Purdue University Board of Trustees. While integrated into the Indiana University system budget, IUPUI was semi-autonomous in that it retains some independent control of its own academic curricula.
