The Valparaiso University campus community is more than just a welcoming place. It’s an environment where each student develops as a complete person – academically and spiritually – thanks to challenging educational opportunities and rewarding experiences outside of the classroom.

Valpo offers:

A complete educational experience: Valpo is known for its blend of liberal arts and professional schools. Students choose from more than 70 academic majors. Distinctive offerings include Christ College, Valpo’s honors college; engineering, nursing, and business colleges; the high-tech and growing meteorology program; exciting music and theatre programs; and many more.

A personal focus: With a teacher-to-student ratio of 13-to-1, advising and guidance from faculty mentors, and an engaged community of 4,100 students, Valpo is the perfect size for one-on-one attention.

Friends and fun: Valpo is a community where friendships grow and last. While Chicago and Lake Michigan are fantastic places to visit, the city of Valparaiso and Northwest Indiana region provide a wealth of dining and entertainment options. 

Global connectivity: Study-abroad programs, clubs and activities, and opportunities for interaction and learning from students from nations around the world give Valpo an international focus.

Learning through service: By participating in spring break trips, projects close to home, and specifically designed courses, Valpo students work on behalf of others while learning and growing as people.

A place for exploration: Valparaiso University, an independent Lutheran institution, provides an encouraging environment for exploring your spiritual journey — whatever your faith background might be.
