The BS in Informatics is jointly offered by six IU campuses: East, IUPUI, Kokomo, Northwest, South Bend, and Southeast. You will be assigned to a “home” campus, or campus of enrollment, but you can take online classes from any of these campuses to increase your options and shorten your time to degree. Your home campus will apply the credits you earn toward your BS.

When you have successfully completed all degree requirements, your home campus will award your Indiana University diploma. The placement office on your home campus will help you find appropriate employment.
