Welcome to Vincennes University.

I invite you to come and visit us on the web often. For those who are just discovering us, Vincennes University is highly focused on helping students achieve academic success in a wide variety of programs. Whether you are seeking a bachelor's degree, an associate degree, or short-term training to enhance career skills, VU's faculty and staff are a dedicated team that prides itself on offering personal attention and support. Our campus life also offers diverse opportunities to develop valuable leadership skills, lifelong friendships, and the enjoyment of your college years.

Founded in 1801 by U.S. President William Henry Harrison, VU is located in Indiana's first city, Vincennes, once the capital of the vast Indiana Territory. The modern, 120-acre Vincennes campus is surrounded by historical treasures, such as Harrison's frontier mansion, the George Rogers Clark National Historical Park--site of an American Revolutionary War battle--and the legendary Wabash River. A few steps away, you will find one of the most modern campuses in the state--currently undergoing the largest building expansion in history. Opening this year is VU's new Donald G. Bell Student Recreation Center and the Red Skelton Performing Arts Center.

I invite you to make your first choice Indiana's first college--Vincennes University. You will find a world of opportunity at VU to reach your goals.

Richard E. Helton, President
