After more than 100 years, we realized it was time for a new
name. Sure, we started in Indiana as a business college, but now
we're so much more. And our students deserve a name that reflects
all five fields of study and our growth beyond Indiana's borders.
While our name has changed, we assure you our dedication to
excellence in the classroom and our commitment to individualized
attention for each student will not change.
