Indiana University-Northwest - a world-class school

It was in the summer of 1977 that Indiana University-Northwest (IUN) opened its doors to the students of Gary, Indiana. With its motto “Per Ardua Ad Astra” (Through Adversity to the Stars), IUN has since become a beacon of progress and inspiration in the region.

The university is located in the heart of Gary, Indiana and it offers an array of educational opportunities to its students.
