Indiana University of Pennsylvania is ranked as one of the top universities in the nation in the Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education College 2019 Rankings (released in 2018).
The ranking is based on four categories: resources, engagement, outcomes, and environment. Editors selected these categories to address the “questions that matter the most when choosing a university.” In addition to nationally reported data from the university, the rankings also include student surveys.
IUP ranked in the top 20 percent of all institutions for engagement, which includes a measurement of student engagement, student recommendations, student interaction, and breadth of opportunities for involvement.
IUP also ranked highly in the environment category, which measured international students, student diversity, faculty diversity, and student inclusion.
IUP has been included in the Princeton Review's “Best Colleges” guidebook for almost two decades, has been ranked as a “socially responsible school” by Washington Monthly, and has been ranked highly by publications, including Military Times, as a “Best for Vets” university.
