IUP offers a solid education without putting yourBrightJournalism
IUP offers a solid education without putting your parents or yourself in the poorhouse with high tuition and huge loans to payoff when you graduate.

I was a Journalism major and took advantage of joining the campus newspaper, Radio and TV stations starting as a FRESHMAN. This is unheard of at larger universities where mostly grad students work at them.

A degree is a piece of paper and has no merit on where you will get a job. Most people don't land a job by what name of the school they graduated from rather it's the grades and extracurricular activities you do. Take advantage of doing a Co-op, internship and / or study abroad. All of which IUP offers. I did an internship and study abroad. Where I interned and what was on my resume helped to land entry level jobs out of IUP my friends not the name of my school. Actually, when I interned in Manhatten, there were many people from Shippensburg, Clarion, IUP that I came in contact with in addition to those from Syracuse, Penn State, NYU etc.

Question
To me I think the school is alright,butAverageNursing
To me I think the school is alright,but they try to make difficult for you to acomplish things, that needed to be acomplished, some advisors put you down, the law enforcement dont have anything else to do with thereselves but find a reason to get you in trouble. Basically if it was not for my friends i don't think i would still be here...

Question
Good school for theBrightAccounting
Good school for the money. Most students are from Pittsburgh area, lots go home on weekends if not greek. Lots of renovation going on, building new dorms (it's about time!) You'll get out of it what you put in, school isn't really "known" much outside of PA so don't go for the name value.
