IUPUI ANSWERS AGE-OLD QUESTION: "WHAT'LL WE DO THIS WEEKEND?"

A new college will open in Indianapolis next August -- the Weekend College at IUPUI.

The Weekend College will offer 24 credit courses on Saturdays and Sundays during the regular fall semester which will begin August 28. The courses are open to IUPUI students and to students in good academic standing at other colleges and universities.

The IUPUI Weekend College was organized for several purposes:

For students and potential students whose work or family responsibilities leave only weekends open for education; For students who want to accelerate their academic programs; For more effective use of IUPUI classrooms.

Dr. James East, director of the Weekend College, exPects an enrollment of 500 in the courses, which will run from 9 a.m. to 2:30p.m. on Saturdays and 1 p.m. to 6:30p.m. on Sundays.

This estimate is based on experience from a pilot Weekend College project which was conducted several years ago. That project, based on a small core of English and literature courses, had exceptionally heavy enrollments and indicated a need for a permanent, more extensive Weekend College, said Dr. East.

The fall schedule includes credit courses in art, business, education, geology, psychology, speech, sociology, anthropology, economics, French, algebra, and English.

Among these are three graduate courses in education for teachers who are fulfilling requirements for masters' degrees required by state law.

Students may enroll in the Weekend College at the regularly scheduled IUPUI advance registration from July 12 through July 16, at walk-in registration August 20 and August 23, and at late registration, September 3.

Fees for Weekend College courses are the same as those for all other IUPUI courses, $21 an undergraduate credit hour for Indiana residents and $42 a credit hour for non-residents; $26 a graduate credit hour for Indiana residents and $52 for non­residents.
