Enrollment by State
Because of lower in-state tuition rates, it’s no surprise Pennsylvania produces the most IUP undergraduates. But, IUP has strengthened recruitment in other states with the recent adoption of a tuition differential for out-of-state students with a grade-point average of at least 3.0. In addition, tuition discounts are offered to all students from Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia.
See the number of IUP undergraduate, graduate, and total students from each state. The intensity of the red signifies a greater number of students from that state.
