Maybe you have always wanted a college degree and life got in the way. Or, perhaps the current economy has you thinking about a degree. Dr. Patricia Jefferson, Dean of the School for Adult Learning at the Universtiy of Indianapolis has some guidance for you.

First, You CAN finish a college degree in a reasonable period of time.  Many adults fear that scheduling courses around family and work obligations means it will take them a decade or longer to finish a bachelor's degree program.  That doesn't have to be the case.  The University of Indianapolis has accelerated classes for adult learners that will get you there in just a few years - perhaps sooner, if you have transfer credit.  

Your life experiences ARE important.  You may not have taken formal college courses, but the knowledge and skills you've gained on the job or while raising a family can translate into course credit.  Don't undervalue what you've learned in your lifetime.

Some people-even those closest to you- may not believe in you.  There is support for you in college- from advisors and professors, to writing and math labs.  At the  University of Indianapolis, you get help brushing up on rusty skills; there's even a free "Topics in Math" class to prepare you for your first math class.

Don't assume you can't afford college.  There is state and federal financial aid out there, as well as sources of scholarship money.  The university will help you navigate the system, which is confusing to college applicants of any age.

You can expect to earn a lot more money in your lifetime with a college degree than without one.  In fact, whlie no job is recession-proof, individuals with high school diplomas are more vulnerable to reductions in workforce than those with college degrees.

Our summer classes begin May 4th.  You have time to begin classes this summer.   Call Laurie at 317-788-3393  or email her at sal@uindy.edu to find out more about our accelerated degree program for adults.



It is hard to believe that those students who started our accelerated degree program on January 12th are finishing their first class and earning three credit hours.  The University of Indianapolis School for Adult Learning offers classes in five week sessions. Adults come to campus just one night per week.  You can make our classes fit into your busy schedule. 

What are you waiting for. It's your time to go to college. You can finish your degree and find a better job.  And, we are to help you along the way.

Call our office at 317-788-3393 or email us at sal@uindy.edu.  Don't wait another five weeks to begin.

Our winter term began this week in the School for Adult Learning at the University of Indianapolis.  It is a time of beginnings for our adult students.  Often a life change, such as a job loss or divorce,  brings adults to college.  At this time of year though, many of our students made a promise to themselves to change their life in this new year.

Our accelerated degree program for adult students is designed to help students succeed as they take the first step in going back to school. Our classes meet just one night per week for five weeks, and adult students find this schedule fits into their already busy schedules.  Students find themselves stretching and growing as they complete the required coursework.  And, many of these students tell us that the SAL program has"changed their life."

Change is a theme for many of us as the new year begins. Call our office today at 317-788-3393 or email sal@uindy.edu and make a change in your life. Our classes begin every five weeks...you can start classes in just four weeks. Make 2009 your year for change.

Occupational Performance Issues and Predictors of Dysfunction in College Instrumentalists - UIndy professors and students publish recent research in Medical Problems of Performing Artists
UIndy music student with Dr. Barton

Music-related injuries among musicians, including younger musicians, have been well documented; however, minimal research has been completed with college-aged instrumentalists. The purpose of this research study was to describe the presence of physical symptoms in college-age musicians and the impact of these symptoms on music-playing and other daily occupations. Data collection was completed
on college instrumental music majors using two survey questionnaires, which documented the presence of physical symptoms in the upper limb and the impact of these symptoms on function. The results indicate that a significant number of students reported pain or discomfort that occurred during music-playing, at rest, and during other daily occupations. Results were consistent with the literature in regards to the prevalence of symptoms in female instrumentalists as compared to males and the occurrence of more symptoms in those individuals playing string instruments and piano as compared to other instrument groups. Also, as self-reported pain increased, a greater level of dysfunction in occupational performance was found. Results also indicated that when participants were already implementing intervention strategies, this was perhaps a predictor of the presence of pain and dysfunction. Health professionals should be encouraged to provide preventive education for student musicians and to use outcome measures, such as the Disabilities of the Hand, Arm, and Shoulder (DASH) outcome measure, to identify the potential for functional impairments.

Indiana's unemployment rate is now 5.8%. On July 18th the Indianapolis Star quoted economist Michael Hicks, "Indiana's rising unemployment reflects a decreaing national demand for goods.  Consumer spending declined because of the rise in gasoline prices." 

The Department of Labor reports that for workers with a bachelor's degree the unemployment rate drops to 2.7%.  This report  goes on to say workers aged 18 and over with a bachelor's degree earn approximately $23,000 more than workers with a high school diploma.

What does all of this mean?  If you are in the workplace without a bachelor's degree, you may want to begin working toward a degree.

'No Time is the Perfect Time to Begin' is the title of a chapter in the book, “This year I will…” by M. J. Ryan, in which she writes about taking the first step to make a life change.  Her point—and one that is just as true for starting college as it is for starting a diet—is that waiting for the perfect time to begin means not ever getting started.  As an adult thinking about attending college you owe it to yourself to take the first step.  Of course, we’d like you to choose the accelerated degree program in the School for Adult Learning, but no matter where you decide to attend college, it is important you take the first step.

We often wonder what factors are most important to adults in choosing an accelerated degree program.  Convenience, location, and availability of financial aid come to mind, but I was reminded again in a conversation with a group of our students that quality and academic reputation are important to these adults.  That’s good to know because it means our students chose us because they wanted an education, not just a piece of paper with the word diploma on it.  These students also admitted that though they like to complain about some of the general education courses, they appreciated the variety of courses available—some even said they liked the way those courses expanded their horizons.
