Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus Top Questions

I like to be involved with radio.

Yes my professors know my name but I believe thats only because my major is very small. Each of my journalism classes consist of about 20-30 students, so professors knows the name with the face. I don't really have a favorite class, but all the class that I have taken with professor, Dr. Michele McCoy are classes that I have enjoyed the most. She teaches many Public Relations and she has had the experience in PR, which she demonstrates and shows passion for every time she teaches. Yes, I spend time with Michele out of class because I am helping her develop a class for next semester about Entertainment PR. The IUP Journalism Department is great.

Yes, Professors know my name. My favorite class was Residential Design with Dr. Viggiano. We took field trips around the town to see how homes were built from start to finish. Least favorite are freshman level classes. Students study a lot.. a lot more than their parents probably think. Class participation is common if the class is after 11 am. Yes, IUP students have intellectual conversations outside of class. Students are competitive. The most unique class I have taken was religion 100. Interior design is a competitive major in the Health and Human Development department. We basically live in the building because ID takes up most of your free time when working on a project. I know that I could get a better education as for ID somewhere else, but there is no where else I would rather be! I do spend time with professors outside of class-- lunch, dinner, social gatherings. IUP's academic requirements are a little low, I wish they could raise the standards a little bit. IUP is definitely geared toward getting a job. I feel that IUP is a great place to learn and to get a degree, especially if you are in the business or criminology field.

I am a double major in Psych and English. My classes are small to medium-sized and every one of my professors knows me. Students get alot of one-on-one time. With majors like business and things of that nature, not so much. Students study everyday, as they should. There are many intellectual conversations outside of class--there are some good coffee shops around where there are frequent poetry readings and discussions. I think that it should be harder to get into our school because there seems to be too many students who skate through college.

Yes, all of them All my marketing classes, accouting and finance classes...boo I'd say 2-3 times a week Yes, very common in marketing classes Yes Very Marketing seminar The marketing department is amazing. The professors go out of their way and bend backwards for their students. The classes are interesting, and very insightful. Yes, for advice and advising Way too low Getting a job

professors know my name no real favorite, i have always tried to take classes i would be interested in history of religion in america i know i live in the library as well as a lot of other people class participation is very important although some do not participate some do, it depends on your major and who you hang out with i would say it depends on what major or class you are in i have taken lots of different classes...medical anthropology, anthropology of food, language and culture, religion of the ancient near east, eastern philosophy, and regarding animals i am an anthropology major with a double minor in pan african studies and dance. the anthropology department is very personable and works with the students but is predominantly concerned only with archeology and not the other fields in anthropology. i have had a good experience with the pan african studies faculty. the dance professors are good but the department is in place to cater to the health and physical education and theater departments. i am a senior and i have only spent time outside of class with 3 of my professors. that depends on the professor i would also say that depends on the department, some departments train you for jobs but for the most part its for learnings sake. if you want to do anything you have to go to grad school.

Professors in my department know my name. Favorite- Public Relations- real life experience I'll take with me post graduation. Least favorite- Geoscience- so fucking stupid. Pointless information I'll never use. Study a good bit. Class participation varies on the class. We have good conversations outside of class, but it depends on what group of people you're hanging out with. Yes- it seems students like to go up against one another and win. My PR class last semester- teacher used progressive teaching methods while utilizing books and all that. Journalism- easy classes with most professors. Two professors challenge you. Overall a great department- the people are very friendly and truly care about their students. I spend time with professors once or twice in a blue moon outside of class, but overall, not really. IUP's academic requirements fall in place with most 4 year colleges/universitites. The department is geared towards getting a job and the liberal studies is more towards learning for learnings sake.

Profesors arent bad, just like every other school, you have good ones, you have bad ones.

Most of the prof's in the business department are very good at memorizing names and knowing each student independently. The only thing is that there are a lot of foreign prof's and it is very hard to understand them sometimes.

yes all my professors know my name.. i love the english courses at IUP im in my second one this year.. both professors were hands on and just awesome
