Students at Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School learned more about living with physical disabilities through a unique exercise conducted by graduate students from the University of Indianapolis’ nationally recognized School of Occupational Therapy.

Nearly 40 UIndy students were at Brebeuf, running five successive classes of high school freshmen through a 10-station course that simulated various disabilities. For example, the teens used wheelchairs and performed tasks while wearing eyeglasses that impaired vision or with one arm tied back to simulate the effects of stroke.
 
The event was designed to help the younger students understand and empathize with the hardships faced by the disabled, in preparation for future service projects. UIndy's OT program has conducted such events at Brebeuf since the early 1990s.


Many of the School of Psychological Science's faculty members are involved in ongoing research projects.  During your first year in the PsyD or master's program you will have the opportunity to learn about each faculty member's specific areas of interest and current projects.  PsyD students are assigned a faculty advisor based on their expressed area of interest when applying to the program.  Because those interests frequently change upon exposure to new ideas presented by faculty during classes and counseling sessions, PsyD students will have the opportunity to change faculty dissertation advisors if those interests change over time.  Even though many faculty members are actively engaged in research projects, they are always willing to help students with specific research projects in their area of interest.   


Are you looking to secure your future, move up, move ahead?   An MBA from the University of Indianapolis can help you achieve your goals.

 

Please be our guest and learn more about the MBA program at the University of Indianapolis open house, September 19, 2009 - Saturday 10 a.m. to noon. Esch Hall, Room 104. 

There will be a presentation by Chitrak Banerjee, Program Manager of Graduate Business Programs. This presentation will give you the information you need in making a decision to begin a MBA program.

 
We offer a choice of evening on-campus classes, a Saturday Executive MBA, an international business travel study option and convenient northside locations to attend the program.

Children in Tanzania
In December 2009, ten Doctor of Physical Therapy students and two faculty members (Renee VanVeld and Stacie Fruth) from the Krannert School of Physical Therapy at the University of Indianapolis will be participating in a service-learning trip to provide medical and educational services to the underserved population of Pommern, Tanzania. The goal is for the participating DPT students to return to the U. S. with a renewed enthusiasm for service, increased creativity for solving problems with few resources, a heightened appreciation for cultural differences, and a newfound appreciation for medical resources in the U. S.

The 2009 trip to Tanzania will incorporate a formal qualitative research study involving students on campus as well as those traveling abroad. DPT students traveling to Africa will apply skills learned in the classroom when they are performing physical therapy services including the evaluation and treatment of musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, integumentary and cardiopulmonary conditions. In addition, students will assist in the rudimentary medical clinic with conditions including malaria, tooth extractions and intestinal worms. Students will conduct well-baby clinics for mothers who travel great distances in order to have their children weighed and vaccinated in order to reverse striking national statistics of infant mortality and malnutrition. Students will also have the opportunity to teach in a local school, assist with local construction projects and participate in cultural sharing.

A qualitative research study is being conducted on the students who are traveling to Tanzania to determine what changes may occur with regards to cultural understanding and appreciation, the level of interest in international service, resource management and personal struggles encountered. Data for the study will be gathered one month before departure, immediately upon returning, six months and one year post trip by students in the Class of 2012 by means of interviews and journal reviews. The students collecting the data will then be studied to determine whether or not participation in the study increases a desire to participate in future studies in international health.

Participating in this project will catapult theses students into a journey focused on international health. KSPT students participating in this experience will take away in experience more than they could ever give to the people of Tanzania. According to Assistant Professor and trip organizer Stacie Fruth, "myself and others I know who have been on similar trips know that, upon returning home, you definitely feel like you received far more than you gave. I guess I can't say that's my goal for these students, but I do hope it happens."



Are you thinking about returning to school, but don't know where to begin?  Start with the University of Indianapolis School for Adult Learning (SAL) Information Open House on Thursday, October 1st from 5:30-7:00 p.m.  Join us in our office, Esch Hall Room 103 for this informative session.  Most of our staff will be here to answer your questions and explain what makes our accelerated degree program for adults so successful.

We have helped hundreds of adult students complete a bachelor's degree. Our students receive personal attention from our faculty and staff. Our classes are:
  • Flexible:  Classes begin every five weeks and students can begin in any of these sessions.
  • Accessilble:  You'll attend class on our conveniently located campus which is just minutes from downtown Indy.

The 2009-2010 academic year is in full swing at the University of Indianapolis.  Classes are moving along, and the campus is alive with students after the slow down of the summer months.  In the School for Adult Learning (SAL) at the University of Indianapolis our adult evening students are almost through with their first five week class.  And, soon these adult students will begin their second class. 

Do you wish you would have started in August?  It's not too late. We are admitting students for our second session that begins the week of September 28th.  And, you can still apply for financial aid for this term.  Contact one of our SAL advisors at 317-788-3393 or email sal@uindy.edu.  Our dedicated staff is ready to help you take the first step toward a college degree.

As we have mentioned before, the U.S. Department of Labor states the unemployment rate for workers holding a bachelor's degree is about one/half the rate for someone with a high school diploma.  On average, a bachelor's degree equates to about $23,000 more in wages per year than a  high school diploma for adult workers.

Don't wait any longer.  You can be in a class in just a few weeks.

If you are seeking a doctoral degree in psychology at the University of Indianapolis all application material must be submitted by January 10 to be considered for the fall class.

If you are interested in a psychology master's degree in clinical psychology or mental health counseling you must submit all application documentation by February 25 to be considered for the fall class. 

Late applications for either the doctoral degree in psychology or either of the psychology master's degrees will only be considered if there are spaces available in the class. 

You can learn more about what documents you will need to submit for the master's program or the doctoral program by visiting our website.

Hate standardized tests?  Sorry, but there is no way out of the GRE requirement for admission to the School of Psychological Sciences doctoral or master's programs.  And you need to score well to be competitive with the majority of our applicants.
 
Took the GRE, but it was long ago?  Sorry, but if it was more that five years ago you will have to do it again. 
 
What score must I get?  If you scored below 500 on any part, you really need to do some more studying and try to improve your scores.  Our average scores for the incoming class of 2008 were 600 for the doctoral (PsyD) program and 520 for the psychology master's programs on the verbal, quantitative and psychology subject sections of the GRE.  You don't have to take the GRE Psychology Subject test, but scoring well can give you an advantage over someone who did not take the test or someone who did not do too well.  If you don't score well, it will not count against you, so just DO IT!
