A bold, ambitious future
For more than 200 years, Indiana University has built a globally recognized reputation for academic rigor, world-renowned research, and creative excellence while serving Indiana, the nation, and the world.
United by an aspirational vision for IU’s third century, IU 2030: The Indiana University Strategic Plan outlines an ambitious and shared path to new heights for IU that reaffirms the university’s rightful place within the highest tier of American public higher education.
It establishes three foundational pillars to guide the many contributions of faculty and staff across IU:
Student Success and Opportunity
A commitment to affordability and a student experience that equips graduates for resounding success in the workplace and beyond.
Transformative Research and Creativity
A commitment to the pursuit of discovery, creativity, and innovation that improves communities and changes lives.
Service to Our State and Beyond
A commitment to engagement, partnership, and collaboration that strengthens the vitality of Indiana, the nation, and the world.
Guided by these three pillars and seven core principles, IU 2030 imagines an extraordinary impact—in students transformed, discoveries made, and communities strengthened—that few public research universities can even contemplate.
Launched in April 2023, the university and campus plans form a holistic vision, marked by clear objectives and metrics of success, for IU’s aspirations for student success, research and creative impact, and service to the state of Indiana and beyond.
And with more than 90,000 students, a living alumni base that places IU among the top five of all national research universities, and nearly 1,000 academic programs, IU’s vast reach will ensure that the outcomes of IU 2030 are felt worldwide—from Hoosier hometowns to communities across the globe.
