IUP Crimson Hawks Public Comprehensive Vibrant Diverse Welcoming Affordable

Since its founding in 1875, the Indiana University of Pennsylvania has evolved and progressed to match the changing needs of the students, staff, faculty, and community it serves. The academic opportunities of a large university meet the personalized and intimate learning-centered environment of a small college at IUP, contributing to a unique experience. The close-knit IUP community encourages students to become innovative leaders while enhancing communities around the world through teaching, research, and service.

IUP’s main campus is located in the heart of Central Pennsylvania, spanning 374 acres with state-of-the-art facilities and plenty of historical charm. Options for rentals are plentiful, with many varied styles of apartments and condos to choose from. Access to U.S. Routes 119 and 422 allows for simple commutes and travels from IUP.

Campus life is rich with activity, from events hosted by more than 250 student clubs and organizations to competitive NCAA Division II Crimson Hawks games. Indiana may be a small town but offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation, dining, shopping, concerts, plays, and festivals. Big-city longings are easily fulfilled with Pittsburgh just an hour away and regular, IUP-organized trips to Washington, DC.
