The vision for an IUPUI first was inspired by the formation of the Indiana Purdue Foundation in Fort Wayne in 1958 for the creation of what has become IPFW. Fort Wayne is a City in northeastern Indiana, United States and the County seat of Allen Year 1958 ( MCMLVIII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Indiana University—Purdue University Fort Wayne ( IPFW) is a regional University Campus located in Fort Wayne Indiana. Fort Wayne's Indiana Purdue Foundation is unrelated to IUPUI, but the formation of such a joint venture between Indiana's two largest university systems inspired metropolitan and state government leaders in Indianapolis to consider the same type of merger for their disparate Indiana University professional graduate schools, Indiana University undergraduate extension center, and Purdue University undergraduate extension center.

The School of Medicine's large campus west of downtown Indianapolis was chosen to be the site of what was to become IUPUI. Prior to forming IUPUI, other Indiana University and Purdue University schools were located at various locations within and near downtown Indianapolis. With the formation of IUPUI and the relocation of those academic units to the IUPUI campus adjoining the School of Medicine's Medical Center, some of those academic units for the first time were housed in buildings designed at time of construction for academic use, instead of business-office buildings as had been the case previously for the undergraduate extension centers.

Athletics

IUPUI's teams—the Jaguars—compete at the Division I level in The Summit League. The IUPUI Jaguars are the 14 intercollegiate teams that compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association 's Division I. Division I (or D-I) is the highest level of intercollegiate athletics sanctioned by the National Collegiate Athletic Association in the United States Membership Associate members Eastern Illinois University (November 3 2005 - swimming and diving Former members The Jaguars have earned NCAA Tournament bids in Men's Soccer, Men's Golf, Men's Basketball and Women's Tennis, as well as a Mid-Continent Conference (now The Summit League) championship in Volleyball and Men's Tennis.

Prior to 1995, the teams were known as the Metros and were Division II. Division II (or DII) is an intermediate-level division of competition in the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

IUPUI's athletic teams have also excelled in the classroom. The women's tennis team has been chosen as an All-Academic Team by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association for three consecutive years; collectively, they have maintained an almost C-average for those three years. The Intercollegiate Tennis Association is an organization of 1500 coaches and 15000 collegiate tennis players encompassing more than 1000 college tennis programs The men's cross country team has been recognized by the United State Cross Country Coaches Association as Academic All-American the past two seasons, while the women’s team earned the same honor from the Women's Intercollegiate Cross Country Coaches Association twice. In 2001-02, the women's basketball team was selected by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association to its Top 25 Honor Roll. In the fall of 2002, the athletic department as a whole was honored by USA Today and the NCAA for having the highest improvement in graduation rate in the country for its category.
