Do you learn by doing rather than from a textbook?

Most of us do too and you've found an excellent school. We teach so many courses with a hands-on approach. As a high school student, Vincennes University provides you with many ways to help make college possible.

In 1995, the first group of 21st Century Scholars began enrollment at Indiana colleges and universities.
