Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Ithaca College is home to some of the best music, communications, and physical therapy programs in the country. With the exploratory program, students who haven’t decided on a major can take a variety of classes to determine their interests. For those who want to design a major, Ithaca offers a planned studies option, where the student works with an adviser to design a program of choice. IC also has numerous study abroad programs, and it has centers in London, LA, and DC. Professors practice in their field, do extensive research, and write books. All have office hours, and many students utilize these to ask questions and get feedback.

With the atmosphere of a small liberal arts college, Ithaca offers a world of possibilities. First-year seminar classes help turn high school seniors into college freshmen, and internships help students get experience in the working world. Through it all, the faculty and staff at IC are ready to assist their students. It is possible to become friends with professors while attending IC, and most students know at least one professor personally by the time they graduate. Once you’re a student, the best thing to do is to have an upperclassman advise you on what classes to take. There’s a good chance that they have either taken the professor for class or know someone who has.

Business School

Most class need are in the business school, very nice building. The professors are always willing to help. As you get to higher levels have mostly papers and projects less tests. Courses are challenging but you learn and are really for the work force. There is many facilities and organizations to help with internships and job opportunities.

The Park School Is Amazing

I have to be honest and say that when I first got here I wasn't expecting a lot from the academics point of view. I was sooo wrong. Schools such as the business school, the music school, theatre school and the park school of communications are really good. I am a communications major and I would not change school (academically speaking). Starting from the first semester you get engaiging calsses and you start to understand how far you can go. Park alumni are always interested in talking to current student and are excited to give graduating students a work opportunity. About the other schools I can't say much. I have a couple of friends in the Humanities and Sciences, in the Health Sciences and so far none of them has had anything bad to say.

Cinema and Photography

Many of the intro classes are extremely similar and downright boring. Production classes are generally favored over anything else but there is a large focus on film history and technique.
