ResearchIUP is deeply committed to the development of student research, and places a high priority on the quality of research you'll produce. Not only does IUP encourage student research in collaboration with IUP faculty members, but it also provides excellent student resources and opportunities to enhance and share that research. As a student, you'll have access to our state-of-the-art facilities and latest technology, with resources like our Applied Research Lab. You'll even have opportunities to present your research through conferences, symposia, exhibits, and colloquiums like our Graduate Scholars Forum.
