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.
