IUP was recently named a “Best for Vets” university by Military Times.
The honor was announced in late June for the university as it made the publication’s list for colleges and universities that assist members of the military and veterans. This follows the announcement in March that IUP was selected for gold designation by Victory Media for its 2021 Military Friendly School ranking.
About nine percent of IUP’s student population is veterans or military-affiliated students, representing nearly 1,000 students.
Since fall of 2014, the university has increased military-affiliated and veteran enrollment by 70 percent. IUP also boasts its Military and Veterans Resource Center, which collaborates with university programs and services to provide a central location and referral site to assist students transition to college life and achieve academic goals.
