|  Few cities can claim the wealth and diversity of educational institutions, which Terre Haute boasts. There are three major educational institutions with roots deeply embedded in local history. In 1874, a local philanthropist, Chauncey Rose, founded the Terre Haute School of Industrial Science. This engineering college was later changed to Rose Polytechnic Institute, and is now Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. Ranked Number One for several years, Rose-Hulman is the best undergraduate engineering and science college in the United States.
Indiana State University began as Indiana State Normal College in 1870, and offers students the opportunity to study in any of 175 different programs on its 90-acre campus located in the heart of downtown. Personal attention makes attending ISU different from just about any other university. A mid sized campus with about 12,000 students, classes rarely exceed 35 students and many will have no more than 20 to 25 students.
Saint Mary of the Woods College, a women's liberal arts college, is located just west of the city. Founded in 1870 by Mother Theodore Guerin and a group of French nuns, Saint Mary of-the-Woods College is the oldest private Catholic college for women in the United States. Situated on a 67 acre wooded campus, SMWC is peaceful and beautiful. Offering a first-rate liberal arts education, there are more than 25 majors from which to choose. In 2005, SMWC also has announced the enrollment of male students on campus for the first time! Training & Certifications Ivy Tech Community College is one of the fastest growing public institutions in the Wabash Valley. Now offering technical certifications and Associates Degrees, Ivy Tech provides quality training to benefit both area adult-learners and area industry. Also located in Terre Haute is Indiana Business College. Founded in 1902, the private career school has ten locations across the state, and offers both diploma and A.A.S. degree programs.

Titles >Ways to Hold Title When two or more people purchase property together, there are three ways that the title can be held. Knowing the implications of each form of ownership will help you decide how to write your deed.
"Tenancy by the entireties" is reserved exclusively for married people. Both husband and wife own an undivided interest in the property. On the death of one party, the surviving spouse owns the entire property and no probate will be necessary. When unmarried persons buy a home together, they should seek legal advice regarding how title should be held. As "tenants in common" each party owns a percentage interest in the property. On the death of one party his or her interest does not go to the surviving owner but is distributed in accordance with the will of the deceased, whose estate must be probated. As "joint tenants" each party owns an undivided, equal interest that passes automatically to the surviving joint tenant. Probate is not necessary if the deed reads "joint tenants with rights of survivorship".
It is important to know that in most courts, if a deed is written without specification of how title is held, the property is titled as "tenants in common."
