IU South Bend Elkhart Center

Since 2007, the Elkhart Center has opened its door to the greater Michiana community, serving as a home-away-from home for many IUSB graduate students. Today, it houses the IUSB Elkhart Speech-Language Clinic and the School of Rehabilitation Sciences; advanced health sciences Masters programs in Occupational Therapy and Speech-Language Pathology.

Focusing on the graduate education of much-needed healthcare providers in these necessary fields, the Elkhart Center promotes collaboration, collegiality and professional development. This vital foundation, and these highly-trained professionals, is key to fostering life-long learning, improving patient/family outcomes in the field of healthcare, and supporting the Michiana region.

The Elkhart Center also currently hosts Beacon Health System classes, supported by the Elkhart General Hospital.
