Money is NOT spent on the educational aspect of the school and students are often forced to rely on ancient equipment, less than adequate supplies, and computers that can be traced back to the 1980's. Budget cuts are now reducing the number of professors which is leading to even more overcrowding in many classes as well as inexperienced professors teaching subjects that they have no background in. The key to surviving at IUP is to find one or two of the great faculty members that are still here and stick with them - research, writing grant proposals, etc. You will learn more through outside research and activities than in the actual classes.

If you're going for composition or performance, I don't think I'd stay here for that. I don't think the courses have challenged me enough, and I feel I need to supplement some of my training with independant studies, particlarly in the sight singing and dictation field, where atonal studies are actually avoided. The written theory is fine though. University Resource Use: A+, Social Life: C+ Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.
