Emily Rutter, Dean, IUP College of Arts, Humanities, Media, and Public AffairsWelcome to the College of Arts, Humanities, Media, and Public Affairs!

In many ways, we are the beating heart of the university. The College of Arts, Humanities, Media, and Public Affairs is an incubator for creativity, interdisciplinarity, and cross-cultural exchange. We draw together time-honored programs in the arts, humanities, social sciences, and media studies to offer innovative, transformative learning experiences. In our classrooms, students gain communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills. These are the durable, transferable, and future-proof skills that prepare IUP students to become leaders in their professions and active members of their communities.

We encourage you to explore our cutting-edge programs, meet our dedicated faculty, tour our facilities, and explore all that we have to offer. Within the College, you will find a community of teacher-scholars, artists and musicians, and authors and composers, who are committed to ensuring students thrive on their academic journeys. We want to know your story and all the wonderful things you hope to achieve—our goal is to make sure you do just that.

We are the College of Arts, Humanities, Media, and Public Affairs, and we are thrilled to welcome you to IUP.
