Why choose a commuter campus close to home? Because it’s a great place to start!
Through the Great Place to Start program at Northpointe, you can start any of the more than 130 majors at IUP, and finish your degree at the IUP main campus.
You can ease your way into campus life without leaving your family, friends, part-time job, and community. You can become part of one of the largest, most comprehensive universities in Pennsylvania at your own pace, in your own neighborhood.
Since the campus is close to home, students are able to commute their first year while receiving the same high-quality education you expect from IUP. Other advantages include:
- Save money by eliminating room, board, and many other fees (a savings of over $9,000 per year).
- Attend classes Monday–Thursday, allowing more flexibility at home/work.
- Receive more individual attention and support in a small campus atmosphere.
- Benefit from a new state-of-the-art campus, which makes learning easier.
- Enroll in regular IUP courses, which allow students to maintain credits, grades (grade-point average), and academic honors when continuing their education at the IUP main campus.
