IUP faculty create a distinctive learning experience
Accessible faculty are the key to students' great learning experiences at IUP. Faculty share their expertise with students. They mentor them. They challenge students to think independently. They offer professional connections and guidance. Whether teaching in a lab, in a studio, at an ocean cove, at an archaeological site, in a classroom, at a conference, online, or in another setting—our faculty are the face of IUP excellence.
IUP faculty lead research
The neuropsychology of acting. Conservation of the golden-winged warbler. Effects of Marcellus Shale drilling on the Beaver Reservoir. IUP faculty lead knowledge creation in many fields. They work individually, in multidisciplinary teams, and as part of many IUP research centers and institutes, from Archaeological Services to the Small Business Development Center. Students are part of this thriving research environment, in which hands-on learning opportunities abound.
