Valparaiso University continues a legacy of quality education that extends throughout a proud history of more than 150 years. And at Valpo, a student’s personal journey extends beyond classrooms and books.

A focus on learning through service and emphasis on broadening experiences help Valpo students develop into thoughtful leaders who work to make the world a better place.

Valparaiso University enrolls about 4,000 students from most states and more than 50 countries, constituting an international, interconnected community. Valpo offers five colleges for undergraduates — the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Engineering, College of Business Administration, College of Nursing, and Christ College (honors college) — as well as graduate studies and a law school.

Valparaiso University is an independent Lutheran institution that provides an encouraging environment for spiritual exploration by all.

The modern Harre Union (opened in 2009) and Christopher Center for Library and Information Resources (2004), and the historic Chapel of the Resurrection form the heart of campus.

Our athletics teams compete at the Division I level. Valpo’s proudest sports moment is advancing to the Sweet 16 in the 1998 men’s basketball NCAA tournament.

We’re located in Valparaiso, Indiana, a city of 31,000 people, in Northwest Indiana just an hour east of Chicago.
