The University of Southern Indiana in Evansville offers the advantages of a large university and the intimate teaching-focused environment of a small college. With 130+ study areas, modern facilities, and a picturesque campus, USI provides a personalized experience similar to a smaller college.

The academic journey at USI is elevated by the spirited NCAA Division I athletics of the Screaming Eagles, which encompass 19 varsity sports.

Top Reasons to Choose USI

USI has an outstanding academic reputation as one of Indiana’s best universities. All of our degree programs offer advantages such as:

  • Practical experience. You’ll have extensive opportunities to gain experience outside the classroom via internships, co-op study, work placements, community service and other programs.
