About the IU South Bend Elkhart Center
The IU South Bend Elkhart Center is the home for the IU South Bend Elkhart Speech-Language Clinic; the School of Rehabilitation Sciences, including the Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology and the Master of Science in Occupational Therapy; and the Master of Science in Nursing.
The Center opened its doors in 2007 after being build and dedicated by private donors, and sits in the heart of Downtown Elkhart's "Gateway Mile."
In addition to flexible classroom learning spaces, the Center has a student lounge, a non-circulating library, a second-floor atrium equipped with six Windows and two Mac computers, multiple rehabilitation labs, active clinical space, and an upcoming virtual reality room. Specific information about classes offered at the Elkhart Center can be found online on the IU South Bend registrar's webpage.
SmartStart Program
By taking 24 or more credit hours at the Elkhart Center, students are considered a SmartStart student. The personal attention and instruction received from faculty and staff as a full-time Elkhart Center student will provide students with a solid foundation upon which to build their IU degree. Students should work with their academic advisor to plan their course schedule. Students who successfully complete the SmartStart Program are encouraged to apply for the Verizon Scholarship, which provides tuition assistance for future course work at IU South Bend.
Scholarships
Several scholarship opportunities are available exclusively for students attending IU classes in Elkhart or for IU South Bend students who live in Elkhart County. For scholarship information, email scholar1@iusb.edu.
