Indiana University Southeast, known locally as IUS, is a satellite branch of Indiana University. IUS is comprised of six schools (Arts & Letters, Education, Business, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and Nursing) and one division (Continuing Studies). IUS is located in New Albany, Indiana, just outside of Louisville, KY. While traditionally known as a commuter campus, the addition of five on-campus residence lodges in 2008 made the school more appealing to a traditional college student demographic.
Location:
Indiana University Southeast is located on approximately 180 acres of rolling land just off of I-265 in New Albany, Indiana. The university's official address is 4201 Grant Line Road, New Albany, IN 47150.

Ed., and M.A. degrees. In addition, various licensing and accreditations are available through the School of Education, such as the transition to teaching program.
Other Educational Services:
There are several educational services offered at Indiana University Southeast with the success of the student in mind. A writing help center and a math lab are staffed for students who have difficulties with writing or math.

Additionally, the Adult Services Center offers a place for returning students to congregate and find support through other students their age.
