Mission Statement

The campuses of Indiana University are currently involved in a comprehensive review of their respective missions. The Indiana Commission for Higher Education retains authority to review and approve such missions. The following paragraphs are drawn from the last approved mission statements. The Bloomington campus is part of a multi-campus university. It continues to define its role as the largest and oldest as well as the chief research campus of Indiana University. The challenges which the campus face are always complex and involve proper recognition of interaction with and responsibilities to the other campuses of Indiana University. The campus is a residential and research campus that faces the challenges of mission and outcomes shared with peer higher educational institutions around the country. Its function as a public institution includes the need to respond to the internal needs of the state institutions, even as it fits into patterns which govern the progress of knowledge in all areas of learning. The Bloomington campus offers a full complement of degrees from the associate degree through the doctoral degree. Numerous certificates are available as well as a limited number of technical certificates and specialist and director degrees. In all, nearly 400 degrees are offered.
