IUP operates three regional campuses, one in Punxsutawney, one at Northpointe in Freeport, and one at Pittsburgh East in Wilkins Township. The first regional campus was established in 1962 in Punxsutawney. The following year, the Armstrong campus in Kittanning was opened. In the summer of 2005, the Armstrong campus relocated to a new facility in Freeport and became the Northpointe Regional Campus. The Pittsburgh East Campus, formerly named the Monroeville Center, was established in 1996.
Control of the regional campuses is directly vested with the IUP administration and Council of Trustees. Regional campuses carry full accreditation as integral parts of the undergraduate and graduate programs of IUP.
Programs of Study
All three locations offer courses and programs at the undergraduate level, graduate level, or both. The Punxsutawney campus also hosts certificate and associate programs in Culinary Arts and Baking & Pastry, as well as Clinical Medical Assistant certificate programs. All three locations also host conferences and non-credit workshops.
Faculty advisors and administrators at the regional campuses are available to advise and support students on their instructional programs.
Admission
Any prospective student who wishes to attend a regional campus may apply for admission by applying online through the IUP Admissions website, www.iup.edu/admissions.
Fees
Northpointe and Punxsutawney students are not required to pay the activity fee or wellness fee. Please see the Finances section of this catalog for further information on other fees payable by all IUP students.
Rules and Regulations Concerning Student Behavior
Students at the regional campuses are subject to the same rules and regulations as students at the Indiana campus. More information is available at www.iup.edu/studentconduct/ and in the Undergraduate or Graduate Catalogs.
Northpointe Regional Campus
The Northpointe Regional Campus is a commuter campus located at Exit 18 off Route 28 with the primary mission of providing local access to higher education opportunities. These greater opportunities for residents foster economic and professional growth for the region. Both credit and noncredit programs are offered at the Northpointe campus, with special emphasis on certificate and associate, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees. Required courses for the first year and, in some majors, the second year are also offered for local IUP students.
