Diverse Student Body

Our students make Indiana State a choice destination for college. Some come from rural communities, others attended large, urban high schools, and many live in suburban areas. Nearly half of our undergraduates are first-generation college students. This means our students learn from the diverse experiences of their classmates, find new perspectives, and make lifelong friendships.

Indiana State University is committed to serving and supporting west-central Indiana. We have partnerships with businesses and nonprofits in Terre Haute and surrounding areas, which include business engagement, volunteer activities, and event services.
