Vincennes University (VU)

“Smaller certainly doesn’t imply inferior,” is one of the self-defining messages of Vincennes University. Located in the small town of Vincenne, Indiana, Vincennes is a university wrapped within a small college, wrapped within a university.

Since you get the best of both a small college and large university experience, Vincennes is ideal for those who are looking for an intimate and personalized environment in which to pursue a one, two or four-year degree.

Over 200 majors are offered at Vincennes University in health, sciences, humanities, performing arts and business among others.

However, Vincennes University’s classes remain small, with an average student-faculty ratio of 15:1.

Not only are the classrooms intimate, but the campus environment promises a personal experience as well. For example, all students under age 21 are required to live in one of the six residence halls. Each of the halls features computer labs, kitchens and recreation rooms, promising a socially warm community at “home” as well as in the classroom.

Over 40 student clubs and a cluster of sororities and fraternities enhance the personalized social experience while helping to develop leadership and other skills.

While small, Vincennes is sure to point out that it certainly isn’t lacking in quality, academically or culturally. The Red Skelton Performing Arts Center, a recently-built structure that hosts plays and concerts, is one example of how Vincennes continues to expand. The Donald G. Bell Recreational Facility is another recent addition to the campus.

Students may also benefit from participating in one of Vincennes’ internship, work-study or volunteer opportunities with a variety of local businesses or charitable organizations.

In addition to work-study, there are loans and partial or full scholarships for home-schooled high school students. There are also scholarships based on academic merit. These and other forms of financial aid are available to those who qualify.
