Vincennes University is a public high school.
  VU was chartered in 1806 as the Indiana Territory's four-year university and remained the state of Indiana's sole publicly funded four-year university until the establishment of Indiana University in 1820
To clarify the mission of VU vis a vis Indiana's other institutions of higher education at the time-Purdue University, the State Normal School, and Indiana University, the state of Indiana rechartered VU in 1889, changing it from a four-year university to a two-year university
