Basic information and contact details for Indiana University of Pennsylvania

institution

Graduates of Indiana University of Pennsylvania have said they rely on their IUP experience to help them navigate through life’s challenges. From classroom lessons to hands-on research, from internships and out-of-classroom opportunities to connections they made during their student years, they agree that IUP prepared them for success in career and life.

With 140 majors and many more minors, IUP has the academic programming students want. As one of four public doctoral research universities in Pennsylvania, we provide students with the mentorship and support they need to succeed.

IUP’s expert faculty members have made breakthroughs in prosthetic vision, excavated shipwrecks through underwater archaeology, developed technology to monitor food temperature, developed a better understanding of storm water flooding, and much more. These same experts teach undergraduate students and often include them in their research pursuits, giving IUP students an advantage when applying for employment or graduate or professional school.

In recent years, IUP students have traded real money on the stock market, measured biodiversity, studied proteins in zebrafish kidneys to understand how human kidneys regenerate, and investigated corporate social responsibility in the fashion industry.

Many IUP students choose to reside on campus in one of 28 residential communities, where students in similar fields live and study together. The University College provides guidance for students who have not yet chosen a major course of study. It’s okay to be an exploratory student at IUP. All students have access to the Academic Success Center and the Writing Center and a wealth of department-specific resources.

IUP students benefit from a national and international alumni network of about 150,000. Alumni are glad to pass on what they know to help students jumpstart their careers. In fact, in a recent survey, 94 percent of alumni rated their decision to attend IUP as good to great.
