Increasing the number of transfer students is a goal for both IUP and the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education.
Toward that end, IUP has facilitated the transfer process by reaching cooperative agreements with five community colleges in the state:
- Community College of Allegheny County
- Westmoreland County Community College
- Allegany College of Maryland
- Community College of Beaver County
- Penn Highlands Community College
Students can find more information about which courses will transfer using the Pennsylvania Transfer and Articulation Center website.
The following information is for 2010.
