Finally, there are two regional campuses under the administration of IUPUI:
Indiana University–Purdue University Columbus (IUPUC) established 1970, located in
Columbus. After IUPUI splits in 2024, IUPUC will become Indiana University Columbus. Two degree programs at the school, biology and mechanical engineering, are currently offered by Purdue; IU Columbus will continue to grant biology degrees through Indiana University, but mechanical engineering will no longer be offered by the school following the split.[10]
The School of Medicine and the School of Social Work have degree programs running across multiple IU campuses.[11][12] Kelley School of Business, the School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, the O'Neil School of Public and Environmental Affairs, and the School of Education have degree programs at both the Indiana University Bloomington (IU Bloomington) and Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) campuses.[13][14][15] The School of Nursing has degree programs at the IUB, IUPUI, and IU Fort Wayne campuses.[16] The Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health has degree programs at the IUPUI and IU Fort Wayne campuses.[17]
Endowment
According to the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO), the value of the endowment of the Indiana University and affiliated foundations in 2016 is over $1.986 billion.[18] The annual budget across all campuses totals over $3 Billion.[19]
The Indiana University Research and Technology Corporation (IURTC) is a not-for-profit agency that assists IU faculty and researchers in realizing the commercial potential of their discoveries. Since 1997, university clients have been responsible for more than 1,800 inventions, nearly 500 patents, and 38 start-up companies.[20]
In fiscal year 2016, the IURTC was issued 53 U.S. patents and 112 global patents.[19]
Both of the core campuses of the IU systems sponsor
NCAADivision I athletic programs. The
Indiana Hoosiers represent the flagship institution in Bloomington, and are founding members of the
Big Ten Conference, where they compete in 24 different sports. The
IUPUI Jaguars field 18 different sports, and have competed in the
Horizon League since 2017; upon IUPUI's split into two universities in 2024, administration of the Jaguar's athletics programs will remain under IU Indianapolis.
Indiana University has three medals to recognize individuals.[21]

It honors individuals for singular or noteworthy contributions, including service to the university and achievement in arts, letters, science, and law. The first recipient was Thomas T. Solley, former director of the IU Art Museum.[21][22]
Indiana University President's Medal for Excellence honors individuals for distinction in public service, service to Indiana University, achievement in a profession, and/or extraordinary merit and achievement in the arts, humanities, science, education, and industry.[21] The first recipients were member of the
