Indiana University—Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) is a regional university campus located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. As a joint campus of Indiana University System and Purdue University System, IPFW offers undergraduate and graduate degrees from both universities among its more than 200 academic programs and certificates.
IPFW's degrees are awarded by either Purdue University or Indiana University on a program-by-program basis. IPFW's schools and academic divisions are not each identified specifically as Indiana University units or as Purdue University units. Through an agreement between the Indiana University and Purdue University systems, most of IPFW's university services are administratively operated through the Purdue University system's budget, although the medical programs and the library are administered through Indiana University system's budget.
Because IPFW is the synthesis of two university systems, the degree programs typically set the achievement bar to the higher of the two standards of Purdue University or Indiana University. Each university reviews the degree programs prepared autonomously by IPFW. Typically degree programs must set the achievement bar to whichever is more stringent. For example, science degrees granted through Purdue University require satisfaction of Indiana University's stricter requirements governing choice of electives, such as the non-western cultural requirement. Of course, this means that students transferring from one university or the other to IPFW must complete more credits to obtain their degree, and that some of the credits earned at their original school will not count towards their degree at IPFW, except as general electives.
This is in contrast to IPFW's sibling university, IUPUI, where IUPUI is a core campus of the Indiana University System, where IUPUI's university services are administratively operated through the Indiana University system, and where IUPUI's schools and academic divisions are each strongly identified by name as IU or Purdue aligned.
