Student Researchers

At IUP, you'll benefit from studying in an environment rich with research and discovery opportunities. You can become a leader on a faculty research team, or even conduct your own research under faculty supervision.

University Libraries

Our libraries are central to the work of all researchers—faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students. Researchers can tap into excellent online services, use open or private individual study rooms, and get expert advice and assistance from librarians who are committed to helping researchers find the resources that best fit their needs.
