We are Vincennes University

A Premier Transfer Institution

VU grants 47% of the associate degrees awarded in the state of Indiana! Tuition and housing at VU can be nearly half that of larger four-year universities. Studying for two years at VU and then transferring can save students thousands of dollars.

Educating students from across the country and all over the world VU is known for its academic strength. Our 200+ programs help prepare for a good-paying job in just one or two years. VU also offers baccalaureate degrees in nursing, healthcare management, homeland security, education, and technology.

VU’s 150-acre campus is located in the agricultural heartland of Southwest Indiana. This quiet, peaceful, and safe campus provides students all the elements needed for the complete college experience: six residence halls, a Student Recreation Center, multiple dining facilities, library, and more - all at one of the most affordable residential colleges in Indiana.

VU provides students with the perfect environment to achieve their goals. With small class sizes, students get the personal attention that is usually found only at, private colleges. This focused teaching environment seeks to nurture and mentor students to achieve their academic potential. VU’s motto as translated from the office seal is, “Learn in Order to Serve.”
