Indiana University South Bend (IU South Bend) is a public university in South Bend, Indiana (United States), and the oldest and largest regional campus of Indiana University. IU began teaching in South Bend in 1916; the campus has been on 80 acres along the St. Joseph River since 1961. It has about 4,500 students and graduates earn an Indiana University degree.
IU South Bend offers nearly 100 undergraduate and graduate degree programmes in seven schools: arts; business and economics; education; health sciences; humanities and social sciences; natural sciences; and social work. Students can take part in internships, research and study abroad.
International applicants apply through the Office of International Student Services, uploading transcripts and diplomas (with certified English translations if needed) and paying a non-refundable US$60 application fee. Non-native English speakers must show English proficiency, with TOEFL the preferred test; applicants who meet the academic requirements but not the language requirement can receive conditional admission. Students requesting an I-20 must document funds for the first year of study. An optional statement of purpose is considered for first-year scholarships. Students can live on campus in the River Crossing apartments, which have furnished one-, two- and four-bedroom units.
