History
The origins of the Indiana University (IU) School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI extend to 1891 when the first class was offered in Indianapolis for credit. That course, in economics, was taught by Indiana University Professor Jeremiah W. Jenks. The course was so successful that IU followed it with classes in history, sociology, and English. The program was modeled after the "extension movement" pioneered in England in the 1860s by Cambridge University.Reference
