In 1958, a concerted group of citizens recognized the need for higher education and training in Dubois County and throughout the region. They formed the Committee on Higher Education and Related Events (COHERE). The vision of COHERE convinced Vincennes University in the Fall of 1970 to open a Center in Jasper, Indiana. Twenty full-time students enrolled that first semester in classes held in various buildings around the Jasper square. Four years later VUJ opened its campus with one building (current administration building) at 850 College Avenue.
Today, the VUJ campus sits on approximately 140-acres of rolling hills, grasslands, and forestry. The campus includes five buildings: Jasper Campus Classroom Building, Habig Library/ Learning Center, Administration Building, Ruxer Student Center, the Center for Technology, Innovation, and Manufacturing, and is also home to the JASPER ARTS CENTER. We currently serve approximately 500 students in over 25 programs of study.
