From the Institution

Since opening its doors in 1875, Indiana University of Pennsylvania has used innovative programs and hands-on learning opportunities to change lives and positively impact its local community, as well as the state, nation, and world. With access to more than 100 undergraduate majors and 60 graduate programs, IUP's more than 9,000 students have opportunities to explore concentrations ranging from education and criminology to computer science, business, and the humanities. IUP also offers many pioneering programs, including the country's first minor in teamwork, as well as in-demand majors such as nursing, safety sciences, the STEM fields, and Homeland Security. IUP also offers opportunities such as the Undergraduate Summer Opportunities for Applying Research (U-SOAR) program, where undergraduate students do graduate-level research with a faculty member throughout the summer and then present their findings to their peers. IUP has been honored with several institutional accolades. It has been a fixture in the Princeton Review's "Best Colleges" list as well as being named a "Best for Vets" college by Military Times. IUP has two affiliate campuses, in Punxsutawney and Northpoint (Freeport), Pennsylvania, and it also offers professional training at the IUP Criminal Justice Training Center as well as the IUP Academy of Culinary Arts. There are also unique learning opportunities for students at the main campus in the prestigious Cook Honors College, which challenges its students to think critically about the world around them. IUP offered its first doctoral degree in 1965 and today stands as the only university in Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education to offer the doctor of philosophy degree. IUP alumni number more than 150,000 and are spread across the globe, in more than 90 countries.
