IUPUI is Indiana's premier urban university, with 19 schools and academic units that grant degrees in more than 200 programs from both Indiana University and Purdue University. IUPUI can trace its roots back to 1891, when Indiana University offered classes in Indianapolis for the very first time. However, the two universities operated independently until then mayor Richard Lugar called for "a great state university in Indianapolis" in 1968. As a result, Indiana University and Purdue University merged their many programs and schools to create Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis in 1969.
