It makes me hopeful like you, but unfortunately I've heard this before from the previous chancellor. The schools struggled to create the programs specific to their area. IIRC, this is why Mansfield created a program related to oil, gas, and mining that may have even flopped. I could be wrong on that but I don't see it after a brief search of their site. Edinboro responded by creating an MBA that allows for a large number of credits to be transferred in - NWPA has several MBA programs and many people with some grad business courses but no MBA.

Originally posted by iupgroundhog View PostArticle below about the "next phase" of the integration and livestream of the BOG meeting tomorrow.
Personally, I'm pretty much on board with all this now and where it might lead, not only for the already-integrated schools but for IUP, too.
The biggest change I see is the increasing alliance with PA industry to meet workforce needs. I think that's a logical direction for the schools. It also should be something that the legislature, regardless of political party, should approve of. It will positively impact legislators in their home districts.
The impetus will lead to the PASSHE NOT being in direct competition with a lot of the higher ed market, e.g. elite private schools, not-so-elite private schools, PSU, Pitt, etc. To a certain degree, anyway.
It allows the schools to develop their own niche. It also potentially brings the schools closer to the community. Would somebody from Cherry Tree Township in Indiana County taking job re-training courses at IUP become a Crimson Hawks football fan?

They also had a great concert venue there (Temple Music Fair). When I was in high school I lived within walking distance and saw some shows there, and until around 1981 or so our high school (Upper Dublin) had their graduation ceremony there.

My perspective is sometimes decades-old but, as I recall, Ambler was where Temple housed their Tyler School of Art and that was kind of an isolated community away from the main campus. Also, they offered graduate courses for the northern suburbs there.
The town itself had become sort of a hip place, attracting a lot of young professionals, and that may have had its beginnings because of the art school being there.
BTW, I think the art school is now primarily at the main campus.
