A Carnegie Doctoral/Research University, Ball State values quality and innovation in education and is a leader in meaningfully integrating technology into the curriculum. Ball State has nationally ranked and award-winning programs in entrepreneurship, landscape architecture, digital media, music technology, 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.
