Unless you have absolutely no experience or exposure to professional archaeological work the applied archaeology program at IUP is a joke. The older professors are all checked out, and have actually stated to students that if they are having trouble learning or understanding something there is nothing the professors can do. The program is marketed on several lies, the biggest being that they own half a million dollars of equipment used for archaeological research and can teach the students how to use it, and interpret the results properly. In reality they do own the equipment but nobody knows how to use it because the professors are so arrogant that they haven't taken the time to learn how to use it, and they can't hire someone who does because the current profs are so lazy and difficult to work with that there is little interest in joining their department. The profs rely on the tenure system completely to keep their jobs. Very little relevant research is done, and most professionals know that these folks have very poor professional reputations. The PASSHE system, the school, and the state need to review this program and its leaders seriously and either shut it down or get rid of the useless hacks that make up the majority of professors.
