Since its founding in 1875, Indiana University of Pennsylvania has progressed and evolved to match the changing needs of those it serves. Today, IUP has a diverse, vibrant, research-based, and student-centered community comprising distinguished faculty members and more than fourteen thousand undergraduate and graduate students from across the nation and around the world.

Consider the extensive choices and resources of the fifth-largest university in the state—including more than 140 undergraduate degree programs, a nationally recognized honors college, and more than seventy master's and doctoral programs. All are offered at a cost much less than state-related and private universities. With a network of grant-funded centers, IUP's faculty members are fully engaged in a variety of research projects in which they involve graduate and undergraduate students. Students enjoy a supportive learning environment that prepares them for meaningful careers as well as productive and meaningful lives of leadership, service, and distinction.

At IUP, students learn from Fulbright Scholars, Rome Prize winners, and other faculty members who have been recognized by numerous learned societies for dedication to their respective fields. As a result, the university has an alumni body that includes leaders in the corporate world, in government, and in public service. IUP alumni include many Army generals, the CEO of Sodexho, the CEO of ExxonMobil Exploration, numerous school district superintendents, several college presidents, and a number of scientists and manufacturers who hold patents. For example, Chad Hurley went here, and then he invented YouTube.
