Indiana University of Pennsylvania has a number of articulation agreements for special programs at community colleges around Pennsylvania.
While coursework at all of the institutions can transfer to IUP, these agreements go a step farther in helping students to map out courses that ensure completing the degree as efficiently as possible.

In July 2006, the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) began implementation of Article XX-C of the Public institution Code of 1949. Intended to create a seamless statewide transfer and articulation system, this legislation requires Pennsylvania's 14 community colleges and the 14 universities in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) to adopt mandatory equivalency standards for the purpose of creating at least 30 hours of foundation courses that can be easily transferred to any of the participating institutions and to establish an electronic portal for providing public access to transfer information. In addition, articulation agreements between the community collleges and PASSHE institutions are being developed, with the first approved programs available to students in Fall 2012. Those students in an approved program at the community college can expect to have all of their credits transfer and apply to their graduation requirements here at IUP. See a listing of approved programs.
