Indiana University of Pennsylvania is recognized for its combination of academic excellence with affordable prices. IUP provides an intellectually challenging experience to more than 14,000 students at the university's three campuses, all easily  accessible from Pittsburgh and the Middle Atlantic region. IUP’s primary campus is located in Indiana, Pennsylvania, a safe, friendly community in easy reach of a wide range of outdoor activities.

Academic offerings include more than 100 undergraduate majors with a variety of internship and study-abroad programs, more than 40 master's degree programs, and eight programs leading to the doctoral degree. Unusual opportunities for research at all levels and the Robert E. Cook Honors College provide special challenges for academic growth. Our range of opportunities and quality of instruction are characteristic of a big university, yet at IUP, close, one-to-one relationships develop within the teaching framework, and a strong sense of community prevails.

IUP has been recognized by numerous publications for its high academic standards and competitive costs. The university is consistently chosen by the Princeton Review for inclusion in its Best Colleges publications. IUP’s Robert E. Cook Honors College is featured in Donald Asher’s  Cool Colleges for the Hyper-Intelligent. The university's Mission, Values, and Vision statements further illustrate our commitment to high-quality education.
