Opportunities at Colleges and Universities in Indiana

Higher education is still the "traditional" path to a career (with almost 44%* of students expected to pursue higher education), but the higher education landscape has transformed in the last five years. 

There are now online options, 2-year options, 3-year options, hybrid, remote, F2F, IRL, and all different types of learning environments. 

The region supports over 40,000 students and over 200 credentialed programs, and more, to help students pursue their passions, interests, and thirst for learning.  


Northeast Indiana Colleges and Universities Network 

The Northeast Indiana Colleges and Universities network is a collaborative effort among 10 unaffiliated higher education institutions.
 
This unique consortium is designed to ensure that employers considering a relocation or expansion in Northeast Indiana have access to the talent they need.
