IUP was once again recognized by U.S. News and World Report, joining several universities across the nation on the “2025 Best Colleges” and “Top Public Schools” rankings.
Rankings are based on graduation rates, student-faculty ratio, and a university’s commitment to producing groundbreaking research. IUP, which has now been on the list for more than 25 years, has a longstanding commitment to research on all levels, which was proven after garnering the “High Research Activity” designation by the American Council on Education in 2021.
The recognition follows IUP’s inclusion in the Princeton Review’s Best Colleges 2025 list, which was announced earlier this year. The university has also appeared in publications from Washington Monthly and Forbes Magazine.
