University of Evansville School Description

The University of Evansville is dedicated to active learning and scholarship. We are committed to the liberal arts and sciences as a basis for intellectual and personal growth. The University endeavors to prepare women and men for lives of personal and professional service and leadership. The University is aware of the challenges of living in an international community and therefore adopts a global view in its programs and its vision.

Established in 1854, the University of Evansville, located in Southwestern Indiana, has a rich history that spans more than 150 years.

Since its inception, the University has enjoyed a strong relationship with the United Methodist Church, sharing with it a commitment to inclusiveness. Students savor a sense of belonging on campus and appreciate the significance of their personal and professional behavior.

Our 2,647 students from 41 states and 48 countries experience a distinctive curriculum built on exposure to great ideas, timeless themes, significant questions and multiple perspectives to prepare them not only for their first jobs, but for their very best jobs. Faculty members, passionate about teaching, prepare students for success in whatever directions their careers take them.

The University of Evansville has received national recognition for its dedication to international education and is ranked within the top five comprehensive universities in the United States for study abroad programs. In addition to studying at Harlaxton College, the University of Evansville's British campus in Grantham, England, Evansville students are currently studying in Italy, England, New Zealand, France, Mexico, Spain, Russia, Israel, the Netherlands and Australia. University of Evansville students explore the interconnectedness of our global society and become empowered by realizing the world is as close as their own backyard.

We like to think of the city as having the best of a big city mixed with a small town. We have a long, rich history, abounding with historic sights and charming residential areas. People care about living here. In fact, Evansville was recently named an All-America City by the National Civic League - an honor given to only ten cities a year!

At the same time, Evansville thrives as a bustling center of activity. There are all of the opportunities of a major metropolitan area-a thriving arts community, featuring the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra, the Evansville Civic Theatre, and the Evansville Museum of Arts, History and Science, along with the University's own excellent music and theatre performances.

There are numerous opportunities to cheer for your favorite teams, including Otters Baseball and UE's own Division I Purple Aces. Don't forget about the all of the restaurants, shops, and entertainment events. Enjoy shopping? Then check out Eastland Mall, the Tri-state's largest shopping center, which is home to over 100 stores.

Question: Is Evansville, Indiana a "cool" city?

I am looking at University of Evansville for college but it is important to me that my college is in a vibrant and interesting city with a lot to offer culturally. Is Evansville like that?

All places have advantages and diadvantages. If you want culturally interesting and vibrant (NYC, SF, Chicago,...big city) then you should go there and go broke trying to pay rent and deal with college tuition. If you want a sensible 'middle-class' experience, then Evansville is fine (so would Southern Illinios-Carbondale, Ball State University-Muncie IN)

Question: General question about University of Evansville in Indiana.?

Why does it not have in-state tuition? It mentions in the 'about' that it's affiliated with the Methodist Church. Does that mean it's a Methodist college? There's a Muslim club? It sounds like a private college. Is it? Thanks! Oh, sorry, I'm not Muslim. I was just saying "there's a muslim club" as a statement. I didn't mean to put a ? at the end. I'm Christian, but not methodist. I was wondering if it would be appropriate. I heard it's a great college.

The University of Evansville is a private college that has a relationship with the United Methodist Church. It has, however, always practice inclusiveness - you would not feel at all like a misfit if you are not a Methodist. (I worked there several decades ago and that was true even then.) You will find a description of the Muslim Students' Assn. at this site: http://msa.evansville.edu/PagesForMuslims/index1.html s

My mother went there--when it was Evansville College. She got graduate degrees elsewhere and wound up working for the State Dept and then teaching at Columbia University, so I guess Evansville gave her a good start. But a long time ago!

Both are recognized as regional universities, but I think that Evansville's faculty has a greater reach in the journals, so if you are considering a Master's (as all engineers should), Evansville is more impressive. Where do you feel more comfortable?
