Welcome to UE - About UE - University of Evansville

Welcome

To the University of Evansville

In our ever-changing world, we’re creating powerful change through active academics, a caring culture, and extraordinary experiences. By empowering our students to think critically, act bravely, serve responsibly, and live meaningfully, we’re changing lives and changing the world.

Who Are We?

We’re a private institution in southwestern Indiana with a close-knit community that cares. At UE, we believe in doing education differently. Through bold and active academics, we shape curious minds into intentional, forward-thinking changemakers. Across every major and minor, you don’t just learn theory. Through hands-on learning and extraordinary experiences, you will apply it, test it, and refine it in your chosen career field.

One of the most defining and unique components of the UE experience is Harlaxton, our very own Victorian manor in Grantham, England. For over 50 years, Aces have called Harlaxton home for a semester while taking classes, exploring European culture, and gaining a global perspective.

Regardless of where your UE journey takes you, the experience will be one rooted in our culture of innovation, responsibility, and inclusive community. And at the end, you will graduate with the drive to confidently step into the world and create positive, impactful change.

President's Message

Welcome to the University of Evansville!

The University of Evansville is a private, comprehensive university with a foundation in the arts and sciences as well as the professions where thousands of students have found their home, discovered their passion, and pursued success around the world. I invite you to do the same!

The University has a rich tradition of academic excellence and has been recognized across the country and globe. In addition to our commitment of strong academics, we embrace our responsibility to help make our communities a better place. This is evident through our designation as an Ashoka Changemaker campus, one of fewer than 50 universities in the world recognized for making social innovation and changemaking in higher education a priority and representing a vision of what education and universities can be. In short, our students are truly making a difference, both locally and abroad. At the University of Evansville, you can use gifts and talents to be a changemaker – to make an impact.
