About the IU South Bend Elkhart Center
The IU South Bend Elkhart Center, built with private donations, is the home for graduate health science education programs, including the Master of Science in Nursing and the Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology (starting fall 2022). These programs reflect a continued partnership between the community and IU South Bend to serve the mission to educate students and to meet the health care needs of our region. The Elkhart Center is equipped with state of the art equipment and modern classrooms including audiology and therapy laboratory spaces. These spaces have also been designed to permit further graduate therapy programs to be housed in the center.
The Elkhart Center also offers first-year general education courses to serve students from the Elkhart community and greater Michiana area. In addition to flexible classroom learning spaces, the center has a student technology center and a student lounge/computer mini-laboratory.
