[5] On August 12, 2022, the boards of trustees of both Purdue and IU announced that IUPUI would split into two separate universities.

[6][7] According to Andrew Klein, the then-interim chancellor of IUPUI, IUPUC would be renamed to Indiana University Columbus and would continue to be a regional education center administered through IU Indianapolis after the split was finalized.

Students can complete several Indiana University (IU) bachelor's and master's degrees in their entirety at Columbus campus.

The university's divisions include: IU Columbus predominantly serves students in Bartholomew, Brown, Decatur, Jackson, Jefferson, Jennings, Johnson, Ripley and Shelby counties, as well as other areas in the largely rural south central and southeastern portion of Indiana.

The Academic Resource Center (ARC) was a one-of-a-kind, one-stop tutoring operation for math, science, writing, public speaking, Spanish, and basic technology.
