Chase Your Dreams at IUP

In the heart of western Pennsylvania lies a university that’s more than just buildings and people — it’s a community, a home away from home. Indiana University of Pennsylvania stands out not just for its academic excellence that opens doors to endless opportunities, but for the support you’ll find to help you succeed.

IUP has all the amenities you’ll find at big universities, from 100 majors to 19 varsity athletics teams that compete nationally to faculty who are experts in their fields. These advantages help you build an academic experience that will prepare you for a career that could take you anywhere in the world.

IUP believes that you should dream big. But it also values personalized attention. IUP has more than 9,000 students from all over the globe, and every one of them is an integral part of a tight-knit community. With small class sizes and personalized attention from professors, IUP fosters an environment in which students thrive. You’re not just a number; you’re an individual with dreams and ambitions, and at IUP, those dreams are nurtured.

The University’s commitment to providing one-on-one attention extends beyond the classroom. Whether you’re exploring leadership opportunities, engaging in groundbreaking research with professors, or immersing yourself in a vibrant and diverse student population, IUP ensures that every student has the chance to shine. It’s a place where roadblocks are replaced with open doors.

At IUP, students and their needs are put center stage. The University offers support services that will help you with any challenge you might face, and it celebrates your successes because you are family. From the day you arrive, you’ll be assigned a navigator, a full-time staff member whose sole job is to guide you through your IUP experience and get you the support you need so you can shine. You’ll also have the backing of a faculty advisor, a teacher who is not just an expert in your academic field, but who is also knowledgeable about how best to prepare you for what’s to come after you graduate.

IUP makes education accessible without compromising on quality. Affordability is a cornerstone, ensuring that financial barriers don’t stand between you and your dreams. While the cost of living has risen dramatically, IUP has worked hard to keep costs down by freezing tuition for the last seven years and housing costs for the last nine years.

So, if you’re seeking a university experience that combines the best of both worlds — a big heart with a small, supportive community — look no further than IUP. It’s a launchpad for your dreams and a home where you’ll find the support and opportunities to make your dreams a reality.
