[3][4][5] The university system includes IWU—Marion, where nearly 3,000 students are enrolled in traditional programs on the main campus in Marion and IWU-National & Global which consists of 6,800 adult learners who study online or onsite at 15 education centers in Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio.

Having already established a liberal arts college, in 1983, university leadership decided to begin offering courses and degrees to working adults during evening hours and Saturdays, forming what would eventually become IWU National & Global.

This decision proved to be very successful and massively affected IWU's future, eventually eliminating the school's sizable debt and funding the revitalization and expansion of the Marion campus, transforming the college into a major evangelical Christian university.

To this day, IWU National & Global provides the majority of the funding used in campus renovation and construction projects, keeping student tuition at a relatively low level compared with other similar colleges.

Site-based classes are held at 14 Education Centers: Indianapolis North and West, Fort Wayne, Kokomo, Greenwood, Merrillville, and Marion, Indiana; Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus and Dayton, Ohio; Louisville, Lexington, and Florence, Kentucky.

[13] In 2013, the board of trustees voted to acquire Wesley Institute (now Excelsia College), in New South Wales, Australia, to create IWU's first international campus.

Students enrolled at the university, who are ATP alumni, can count their flight training experience as degree credit as well as receiving a tuition discount on certain programs.

In the past 30 years, over 50 construction projects have been completed, including more than 15 residence facilities and 16 academic/administrative buildings, along with 11 adult and professional studies structures around the Midwest.

[7][25] Of special note are the university's student residence facilities, including 9 dormitories (all built since 1990) and several apartment structures.

The university is unique from most colleges in having air conditioning in every room and no community showers in any facility on campus.

As one of the largest facilities of its kind in the nation, it was designed to attract major events to Marion, such as musical artists, speakers, and conventions.

Visiting artists have included Relient K, Switchfoot, the Gaither Vocal Band, Michael W. Smith, and Lauren Daigle.

In 2016 the university broke ground on a 2,500 seat, state of the art football stadium that cost approximately $9 million.

[28] In 2024 the university broke ground on a new 80,000 square foot indoor arena that will be the future home of the basketball and volleyball teams.

[29] IWU National & Global is represented in regional education centers throughout the Midwest in Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky.

Site-based classes are held at 14 education centers: Indianapolis North, Fort Wayne, Kokomo, Greenwood, Merrillville, and Marion, Indiana; Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Dayton, Ohio; and Louisville, Kentucky.

Each year a World Changers Convocation is held on IWU's Marion campus to induct a new member into the Society and celebrate his or her accomplishments.

A life-size bronze bust of each inductee is placed on permanent display in the Society of World Changers Hall of Honor located in the rotunda of the Jackson Library.

Most notably, the Chorale has performed several times at the internationally recognized Crystal Cathedral in Orange County, California and Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

They were also a member of the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA), primarily competing as an independent in the Midwest Region of the Division I level.
