Online Joint Collaborative Programs

A jointly offered program is one that is offered by more than one IU campus.

Here’s how the degree program works: you enroll at one of the participating campuses, and this campus becomes your home campus, or campus of enrollment. You may then register for classes offered by your home campus or by any of other participating campuses. Your home campus will apply the credits you earn toward your degree.

When you have completed all degree requirements, your home campus will award your Indiana University diploma.

How does it work?

Students will be assigned to a “home” campus, or campus of enrollment (IU South Bend), but you can take online classes from any of these campuses to increase your options and shorten your time to degree.

When all degree requirements are successfully completed, IU South Bend will award your Indiana University diploma. The placement office will help you find appropriate employment.
