[7] The Normal College joined Indiana University in 1941, and was renamed the School of Physical Education in 1972 to reflect the school's mission of training physical education teachers. [6] In 1994, the school expanded its focus to include IUPUI's military science program and the Department of Tourism, Conventions, and Event Management. [6] The school established the first university institute focusing on sports innovation. [8]
