Date: Jan 17 2008
Major: Journalism (This Major's Salary over time)
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.
