IUP Excellence

As we embark on our next 150 years, we must be prepared to quickly capitalize on new technology and important breakthroughs to position our students, and our university, for continued success. And we must do so in a way that does not compromise affordability, keeping tuition accessible to prospective students and utilizing scholarships and fellowships to attract and support the best and brightest candidates.

“Don’t confuse the temporary with what really has been there forever. IUP will forever be known for its commitment to excellence, focus on students, and affordability.”
– Charles Cashdollar ’65
