Now known as the Herron School of Art and Design the school was incorporated into Indiana University in 1967 and then two years later, it became part of IUPUI—Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. In 1970, the Indianapolis Museum of Art separated from the school, taking with it a majority of Herron's art collection.
