Approximately 70% of our graduates go on to work and live in St. Joseph/Elkhart counties. Join our team in helping shape the future of our region!

We are always learning and growing, but we often think we “can’t” do something whether that be math, public speaking, or even juggling! Well, Professor Sullivan is here with a message—“if it’s a skill, it can be built!”

IU South Bend education and counseling programs are nationally accredited through CAEP and CACREP. Our graduates consistently meet and exceed Indiana state licensure requirements. In addition, we continually evaluate and work to expand our programs to respond to the needs of our changing community and world.
Cost is often the biggest barrier that potential educators face when pursuing a degree. To help our education students continue their studies and graduate, in 2024 more than $42,500 in merit and financial based awards were distributed to our students.
You can help ensure the future of our local schools and communities by contributing to our various scholarship funds.
