The surrounding San Joaquin Valley is one of the richest agricultural areas in the world, and Fresno County is the sixth largest metropolitan area in California. The university is within an hour's drive of many mountain and lake resorts and within a three- or four-hour drive of both Los Angeles and San Francisco. Fall semester runs from late August through December. The spring semester runs from mid-January through mid-May. Short sessions are offered throughout the summer.

Campus

Fresno State was officially designated as an arboretum in 1978 and now boasts more than 4,000 trees on campus. The 388-acre main campus features more than 46 traditional and modern buildings. An additional 34 structures are on the 1,022-acre University Farm, which is considered one of the most modern and best equipped agricultural facilities in the West.

Athletics and Traditions

Fresno State is a member of the NCAA's Division I. Fresno State has been a member of the Western Athletic Conference since 1992. Before that, it had been a member of the Big West Conference since 1988. Fresno State was also a member of the Big West's predecessor, the Pacific Coast Athletic Association since its inception in 1969 and was a member of the California Collegiate Athletic Association from its beginning in 1939 (when Fresno State was in Division II). Fresno State's football team, currently coached by Pat Hill, has garnered a reputation for being willing to play any top-ranked opponent, anytime, anywhere (usually on the opponent's field). Fresno State (as of December 2005) has achieved success with a 10-8 record against BCS teams, the most by any program not in a BCS conference. This has not only helped Fresno State gain revenue from top-ranked programs, it has also provided the Bulldogs a following among college football fans who admire its willingness to challenge the best teams (and has resulted in the Bulldogs being featured more regularly on college football TV programs than most non-BCS conference teams). Fresno State often travels between 10,000-20,000 miles during its football season, between its WAC conference games (the conference itself is quite spread out geographically) and its usually brutal non-conference schedule.

Indiana University of Pennsylvania

The Indiana University of Pennsylvania (or IUP) is a public university in Indiana, Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh. It is a member of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. IUP has branch campuses in Punxsutawney and Kittanning.

History

IUP was founded in 1875 as a Normal School. In 1927, it became a State Teacher's College. In 1965, the institution achieved university status and had its name changed to "Indiana University of Pennsylvania". [http://www.iup.edu/about_iup/a_long_tradition.htm]

Education

IUP offers over 100 undergraduate degree programs and 40 graduate degree programs. The university is split into several colleges of related programs:
- [http://www.iup.edu/business Eberly College of Business and Information Technology]
- [http://www.iup.edu/education College of Education and Educational Technology]
- [http://www.iup.edu/finearts College of Fine Arts]
- [http://www.iup.edu/healthhumanserv College of Health and Human Services]
- [http://www.iup.edu/natsciandmath College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics]
- [http://www.iup.edu/continuing-ed School of Continuing Education] Also, IUP has the Robert E. Cook Honors College [http://www.iup.edu/honors/] for academically talented students. This college replaces regular liberal studies classes with challenging "Honors Core" classes. This college was made possible through donations by Robert E. Cook, an IUP mathematics alumnus.

Trouble With Media

In recent years, IUP has been featured in the news regarding several student's actions. The University, known for it's party life, lost one student at the Kappa Delta Rho fraternity in Spring, 2005. Later that year, at the start of the fall term, another student took his life while pledging at a different fraternity. Several weeks later, the University suspended the entire cheerleading squad over violations of University policy (hazing). While unrelated to the school itself, over Homecomming Weekend 2005 a non-student was stabbed to death one block from the school, near the area called "Frat Row". The spring 2005 death caused the University to rework its drug and alcohol policy, to create harsher sanctions. November 12, 2005 brought new accusations by a local bar regarding four of the school's basketball players. The team's guard, Edward Peterson as well as three of his mates were accused of causing damage of about $300 and striking four members of the staff at Coney Island.

Name Confusion

Interestingly, Western Pennsylvania has two areas named after states. Those areas, Indiana and California, also have universities which are known and respected in Pennsylvania. California University of Pennsylvania is distinguished since all of the actual California Universities have unique names such as "UCLA", "UC Santa Cruz", or "Berkeley." Yet, Indiana University of Pennsylvania is often confused with Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. If someone anywhere in Pennsylvania were to say, for example, "I go to Indiana University," it would be received by a Pennsylvania native as IUP. Similarly, people have trouble distinguishing "Penn" from "Penn State."
