Welcome to Vincennes University Your Institution for Distance Learning (http://www.vinu.edu/distance) Founded in 1801, at a time when higher education was generally reserved for a privileged few, Vincennes University’s doors were open to anyone who wanted to learn. That original mission has survived over 200 years, and today VU remains an open-admission institution. The Distance Education and Military Education programs at Vincennes University carry the mission to students seeking to continue their education, but unable to spend extended periods of time on a college campus. Vincennes University has developed programs that bridge the desire and means for higher education by extending the walls of the college campus. New technology solutions are vastly changing and improving the way we teach and learn.

VISION STATEMENT Vincennes University is a premier learning institution, widely recognized for leadership in innovation and
