Martin University

Martin University is a private liberal arts institution located on the east side of Indianapolis, Indiana. Founded in 1977 by Rev. Fr. Boniface Hardin and Sister Jane Schilling, the university was established to serve adult learners and remains Indiana's only predominantly Black institution of higher learning. The urban campus consists of two main buildings situated on 14 acres, offering undergraduate and graduate programs with a focus on leadership studies, community psychology, and religious studies. Martin University maintains an open enrollment policy and provides flexible class schedules designed to accommodate working adults, with most courses available in both evening and weekend formats. The university emphasizes small class sizes and offers support services including tutoring and academic counseling to assist its non-traditional student population.

Martin University is designated as a Predominantly Black Institution (PBI) and receives federal grants supporting the school's efforts to serve low and middle-income Black Americans.
