Sample of 12 campuses from the plot (sorted by enrollment). Source: U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey + IPEDS enrollment. Rate = on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students; lower is safer-reporting, not a personal-risk forecast.
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus rose from 17 to 24 (+41%). The increase shows up in Burglary (0 to 3), Rape (5 to 8) and Robbery (0 to 3). Falling over the same period: Motor Vehicle Theft (2 to 0) and Fondling (5 to 4).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 7 Clery Act categories here: Rape, Aggravated Assault, Fondling, Burglary, Robbery, Motor Vehicle Theft and Arson.
The remaining 4 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter, Negligent Manslaughter and Statutory Rape. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus sits on price and outcomes
At $16,804, Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus's reported average net price is cheaper than 26% among 261 Pennsylvania colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $19,954.

- average net price

- Pennsylvania median

- six-year earnings to median debt
- $9,569
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $12,364, while those above $110,000 record $21,933 - roughly 1.8 times as much. A published average of $16,804 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $42,278, roughly 2.5 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
