    Built a Solid Foundation

    “My time in the Marketing Department at IUP helped me build a foundation of skills and knowledge that have had lasting effects on my life. I was able to utilize my depth of knowledge in not only the field of marketing, but also accounting, finance, and management techniques to fully engage with the subject matter while earning a master’s degree in data analytics. I look back at my time at IUP with nothing but fondness and believe my future career prospects are considerably brighter due in large part to my experiences there.”
