[edit] History
| Indiana University Falls City Area Center | Established | 1941 | Location | Jeffersonville, IN USA |
| Indiana University Southeast | Renamed | 1968 | ||
| Relocated | 1973 | Location | New Albany, IN USA |
The Indiana University Falls City Area Center was established by Floyd McMurray in 1941 as an extension center of Indiana University in New Albany, Indiana and Jeffersonville, Indiana. Classes were initially held in classrooms at New Albany High School and Hazelwood Junior High School in New Albany, and at Jeffersonville High School in Jeffersonville. In 1945, IU Southeast moved into its own building in Jeffersonville, named the Indiana University Jeffersonville Extension Center (Indiana University Southeast Horizon, September 18, 2006 [1]).
As an extension center, IUS's purpose was to permit freshmen and sophomore students to take classes near their residence before transferring to the Indiana University Bloomington main campus. The Indiana University Jeffersonville Extension Center was renamed Indiana University Southeast during 1968. Also, IUS granted its first degrees in 1968. [2] IUS moved to its current 177-acre campus in New Albany, Indiana during 1973. [3]
