Welcome to the Indiana Wesleyan University Merrillville Campus website. I urge you to explore the various programs, information, and activities presented on these pages. You will learn a great deal about our undergraduate and graduate programs and Christ-centered academic curriculum. IWU has been ranked by U.S. News & World Report as "one of the best Master's universities in the Midwest." We have a wonderful dedicated staff to help meet your needs.

The Merrillville Education Center offers a wide array of undergraduate and graduate programs in Business, Nursing, Criminal Justice, and Graduate Education that are taught by outstanding faculty. Our instructors bring to the classroom not only a strong academic background but also "real-world" experience. In other words, they practice what they teach. The small class sizes encourage team-focused and hands-on learning with real life application. Our adult learners find both rigorous academic programs and a collaborative learning environment involving peers and faculty.

Since joining Indiana Wesleyan University in October of 2002, I have been incredibly impressed with the Christ-like caring of the thoughtful people who call IWU home. I am very excited to be here because this is a very special place. Please join us as you either begin or continue your undergraduate or graduate degree. We have nearly 500 students attending classes in Northwest Indiana. Just one visit to our first-class facility will convince you that IWU is the right place to pursue your educational dreams. I welcome the opportunity to dialog with you. You can contact me directly at joshua.black@indwes.edu.
