Mission  
School mission: Student-faculty collaboration and immersive, real-world learning experiences are hallmarks of a Ball State University education. These intense, interdisciplinary experiences transform students and best prepare them for 21st-century citizenry.

The campus features state-of-art facilities and cutting-edge technology, especially evident in the new David Letterman Communication and Media Building and Park Residence Hall. A Carnegie Doctoral/Research University, Ball State values quality and innovation in education and is a leader in meaningfully integrating technology, including emerging media, into the curriculum. Listed among the most innovative schools, Ball State has nationally ranked and award-winning programs in entrepreneurship, landscape architecture, emerging media, music, telecommunications, educational leadership, and other disciplines, and its student organizations have consistently placed high in academic competitions. Ball State also has been recognized for excellence in freshman programs and its commitment to diversity and the environment.
