Division of Continuing Studies

INDIANA UNIVERSITY–PURDUE UNIVERSITY FORT WAYNE • 260-481-6619 • www.ipfw.edu/dcs

About the Cover:

John Dewey once wrote, “Education is not preparation for life, education is life itself.”

And so it is, a lifelong process that begins in infancy as we interact with our world and over time develops through a more intentional desire of learning for personal satisfaction or professional growth. Best of all, the sky is the limit on what there is to learn and where that can take us!

IPFW’s Division of Continuing Studies makes lifelong learning more accessible through personal and professional development and degree completion. To make learning more convenient, various programs are offered on and

off campus, online, on the weekend, and in accelerated formats. The personal enrichment and professional development courses and programs highlighted in this catalog reveal the variety and scope offered through the Division of Continuing Studies. Included is the Bachelor of General Studies (B.G.S.) degree (featured on the cover and on the last pages of this catalog), which is offered through the Division because its unique design makes it particularly adaptable to the needs of the lifelong learner.

The B.G.S. is a customized path to a college degree for busy adults who always wanted to finish the degree they once started.

• The B.G.S. can award credit for approved forms of lifelong learning. Students may be able to apply previously earned credits such as

– Credit previously earned at an accredited college elsewhere– Credit by examination– Credit for self-acquired competency– Military service credit

• Gaincareercredentialsasyouearndegreecredit.Students choose the course of study that fits their goals and interests and are encouraged to incorporate minors and professional certificates into their degree programs that enhance their job credentials. Popular choices include minors in business, communication, organizational leadership and supervision, psychology, and sociology. Certificate options include the Small Business Management Certificate and the Advanced Manufacturing Certificate. New this spring is the Personal Trainer Certificate (see the fitness section of this catalog), which is approved by the American Council on Education for degree credit.

• ThereisnotimelimitforcompletingtheB.G.S. because credits earned never expire.

• B.G.S.studentsselecttheirowncourseschedules. The General Studies degree can be completed entirely online, in face-to-face classes taught on campus during the day, in the evening, or on the weekend, at off-campus sites, or in any combination that is convenient for the student.

• The B.G.S. is a nationally recognized and fully accredited IU degree and a great launching point for job advancement or graduate study. General Studies graduates have used their B.G.S. to pursue careers and further study in areas such as business, public relations, medicine, law, education, and social work.

The people featured on the cover are actual General Studies students who returned to complete their college degrees. Pictured (clockwise from left to right) are Marcus A. Trice, Janet K. Bircheff, Caren Vachon-Jones, Jessie A. Culbertson, Melvia Staten Culpher, Tyler Anglin, Andre Patterson, and Lori Ann Cammllarie. You will find their stories interspersed throughout this catalog. I hope you will recognize similarities to your own story and find encouragement in how they managed to jump the hurdles in their paths.

College Credit Options

Marcus A. Trice, B.G.S. ’07, M.A. ’10, had completed two years of college before the responsibilities of marriage and family changed his focus. He “stopped out” of school, but never forgot his desire

to become a teacher. Determined to set an example for his children, Trice returned to IPFW where he excelled academically, attributing his success in part to the fact that he was more mature the second time around. “I really enjoyed the interaction with the professors and students. Abstract ideas come alive when you add life experiences,” he says. Trice completed the B.G.S. in 2007 and earned a Master of Arts in Communication in 2010. Today, he teaches three courses in communication at IPFW in addition to his day job as a marketing specialist for Frontier Communications.

Leadership Development CertificatesThis comprehensive approach to developing leaders is adaptable to the needs of any organization and features four individual certificates. Four tracks have been developed specifically for team leaders, front-line managers, mid-level managers, and emerging leaders. Participants will learn to lead and motivate more effectively, build better relationships through mutual understanding, and enhance work-related communications while improving their own performance and increasing the organization’s level of excellence. Each module will be taught by an expert in the field of management who brings years of experience to the classroom.

The program will begin with the DiSC assessment completed individually by each participant. This tool will provide a framework for the curriculum and will be referred to throughout the program, serving as the foundation for leadership development. While the tracks and modules are set up in an ideal sequence for a new leader, participants can self-select those tracks that they need the most. The tracks can be completed in one semester or across several, allowing flexibility to participants and an ability to develop their skills in a schedule that is accommodating to their personal and professional lives.

Develop Your Potential (Track I)13SBUS396

February 8 and 15 (2 meetings)Fridays, 9:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m.Martha Martin, Tamara Fay, and Bob Gager, instructors1 CEU$350 Fee includes materials. Lunch on your own.

This track is the ideal place to begin for any new, existing, or potential leader. The modules focus on the individual, identifying their strengths and developing a skill set that will enable them to effectively present themselves to others. At the completion of this track, they will have developed a strong sense of self and will know if they have the skills and abilities needed to become an effective leader.

Emotional Intelligence The first step in developing your potential is to begin to know and manage yourself well. Cultivating these skills builds leadership and directs outcomes for professional abilities. Taught by an effective communicator and experienced trainer, the course will expose learners to the breadth of research and theories on developing Emotional Intelligence. Self-evaluation and creative techniques for better managing emotional responses to people and situations will be discussed and applied.

Knowing Your Managerial Potential Develop an understanding of knowing yourself and how your behavior as a manager impacts the effectiveness of your team. You’ll learn how to recognize your primary behavioral style using the DiSC assessment that will be taken online prior to the class. Individualized reports will be presented and explained during class. Learn how to increase your managerial effectiveness by adapting your behavioral style to meet others’ behavioral styles.

Effective Communication Skills As learners continue to develop potential, professional written communication becomes a focus for advancement. This module will cover a rudimentary review of basic grammar structures and common errors in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. You’ll learn that grammar is no longer dry and uninteresting and can be the building block of clear communication. The module will include a classroom focus on the effective use of smart phones and other technology (like Prezi) used in creating presentations, and documents that creatively meet leaders’ professional needs.

Career Management: Time, Stress, and Your Potential Too much stress and too little time? Maximize your potential as a leader by learning effective time and stress management skills. This module will provide tools for recognizing your personal stressors and time drains and developing strategies to combat them effectively. You’ll learn that in order to get the most out of others as a leader, you must first learn to get the most out of yourself.

Maximize Your Resources (Track II)13SBUS397

March 8 and 15 (2 meetings)Fridays, 9:30 a.m.– 3:30 p.m.Amanda Parker, Jennifer Oxtoby, Bob Gager, and Denice Beights, instructors1 CEU$350 Fee includes materials. Lunch on your own.

They will learn various vehicles to leverage these individuals, including training, coaching, motivation, and relationship building. The modules focus the participants on internal skill building, taking what they learned about themselves in Track 1 and adding the perspective of others to identify potential implications in the relationship. At the end of this track, participants will have the skills needed to create and maintain a strong, cohesive, high-functioning team.

Generational Diversity This session will focus on the motivators and values of each generation in the workplace. Beginning with a brief overview of generational characteristics rooted in history and theory, you will learn techniques of communication, supervision, and successful teamwork.

Business/Management



Recognizing Motivation to Build and Manage Relationships Within any organization, it takes special skills to get people to do what needs to be done. This session will focus on building a work environment that promotes trust, integrity, and peak performance. Topics will focus on what causes people to behave the way they do; how to find out what people want and expect; how to use your leadership skills to reach across a diverse workforce; and how to get what you want by giving others what they need.

Dealing with Difficult PeopleYour staff may be employees, peers, or bosses; but whatever their titles, they can be frustrating to deal with and have a negative effect on your work life. This session will focus on identifying and understanding difficult personalities and learning methods for coping with them so that your work environment can be more productive and less stressful.

Engage Your Team (Track III)13SBUS398

March 22 and 29 (2 meetings)Fridays, 9:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m.Bob Gager, Denice Beights, and Amanda Parker, instructors1 CEU$350 Fee includes materials. Lunch on your own.

In this third track, participants will build upon the first tracks by focusing on the direct engagement of others. In these modules, the participants use what they’ve learned about themselves (Track I) and the vehicles for development (Track II) to influence and manage the team. Participants effectively will become managers in this track, learning how to motivate as well as manage. Upon the completion of Track III, they will know how to engage all team members and have the skills needed to address individual performance levels.

Employee Engagement: Influencing Others through Motivation, Training, and CoachingEmployees often need three things to be successfully engaged in their work: motivation, job knowledge, and leadership. Without one of them, the remaining two often are not enough to promote success. Learn to assess the needs of individuals and teams, openly communicate about those needs with them, and develop tools and strategies for delivering targeted solutions.

Performance ManagementPerformance management is a continuous cycle geared at employee development. In this session, participants will learn the critical components of this cycle, including developing employees, delivering timely and effective feedback through one-on-ones and other assessment tools, disciplining employees who aren’t meeting expectations, and recognizing and rewarding those employees who do meet expectations. After learning these components, the participant will understand how to effectively implement this process with their team.

Conflict ManagementConflict is often seen as a negative in the workplace and can create discomfort. But, the conflict isn’t the real problem – it is when conflict is poorly managed that problems arise. This session will introduce you to the building blocks of conflict management based on problem-solving and decision-making techniques and how to use conflict to energize your workforce.

Conducting Effective MeetingsHave you ever attended a meeting that dragged on and on? Or a meeting that lacked a clear purpose? Meetings are a useful resource for any leader and a necessary component of daily work life. In this session, you will learn the critical components of effective meetings, including the Four P’s of planning, purpose, participation, and progress.

Implement Your Strategy (Track IV)13UBUS399

Building on the strong foundation provided in the first three tracks, these leaders will be able to deliver results and achieve organizational excellence with strong customer service. They will be able to leverage their unique leadership skills (Track I) with the resources available to them (Track II) and their high-performance team (Track III) to create an environment where their workgroup is positively impacting the overall organization. At the completion of this track, participants will be able to focus on organizational goals and individual skill sets with an ability to position their leadership between both.

Critical Thinking: Decision Making and Problem SolvingIn today’s fast-paced work environments, managers are required to quickly make important decisions and solve complex problems. Learn the process of critical thinking and how it enhances your ability to create the results you want. Using tools and techniques learned in class, you will analyze, compare and evaluate a variety of solutions, improving your ability to make the best decision. Using case studies, you will practice and learn critical thinking skills by asking questions and considering multiple options before solving a problem. You will also learn how to facilitate an effective brainstorming session and how to distinguish between when to collect ideas and feedback from others, and when to move forward on your own.


Leadership Development Certificates (Continued)

Communicating the Strategic PlanHow often do the strategic initiatives or goals of an organization cascade down to all team members? It is important that company initiatives or goals are shared and related to all members of the organization. Learn how to use tools including a SWOT analysis and a strategic communication plan to help share your own goals as well as those of the company. By planning a long-term strategy, this will allow you to engage your employees in the overall goals of your organization and give them the opportunity to see how they can fit within these goals and have an impact.

Delivering Results“If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it” is a popular quote that helps organizations understand how critical it is to measure their progress toward goals and objectives. Learn how to set quantitative and qualitative performance goals that can be used as indicators to measure progress, outcomes, and accomplishments. You will also learn how the alignment of individual employee performance goals with the organization’s goals can empower and motivate team members to achieve. In addition, measurement and data collection methods will be discussed, and you will be provided with a model to use in you own organization.

Second Lieutenant Tyler Anglin, B.G.S. ’12, graduated in 2012 with the Bachelor of General Studies plus a commission as a U.S. Army second lieutenant. Like many

military personnel, Anglin chose to major in General Studies because the degree program allowed him to apply the credits he earned to fulfill ROTC requirements to his degree. “I was able to package an Organizational Leadership and Supervision minor with ROTC requirements to advance my leadership skills at the same time,” Anglin says. Married, with a young daughter, he combined on-campus courses with online courses he could access from home. “Being able to select from a variety of classes made scheduling easier,” Anglin says.

From the cover…

Andre Patterson, B.G.S. ’02, came to IPFW motivated to set a good example for his teen-age son. Like his father who had played professional basketball with the Fort Wayne Fury, the younger Patterson aspired to a career in pro sports. “I got my degree so my son would get his degree,” Patterson said. Working full-time while attending IPFW, he took evening classes to be with other working adult students. He also joined their learning communities for mutual support.

Patterson used many of the student support services available to him and found that IPFW professors are remarkably approachable. “Once I learned to utilize my professors, I became successful,” he said. Patterson is completing a master’s degree and now is employed in the IPFW Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs as the Coordinator of Career and Technical Education and STEM Outreach. He also oversees IPFW’s Brother 2 Brother Mentoring program aimed at increasing the retention and graduation rates of male minority students.

From the cover…

Caren Vachon-Jones, B.G.S. ’10, started college part-time at IPFW one year after graduating from high school. She went to work for Lincoln National Bank

(now Wells Fargo) as a part-time teller for the year between high school and college to earn enough money to start her college education. However, her career took some quick turns. When she became a full-time banker and then a teller manager, she found the degree program she was pursuing did not offer the scheduling flexibility she needed to continue school. “I had a lot of credits, and I didn’t want to start all over,” she says. With the help of a General Studies advisor, she was able to plot the many classes she had already completed and determine a plan for finishing a Bachelor’s degree. Even then however, life got in the way; she stopped and started many times before completing a degree in 2010. “I always knew when I was ready, IPFW would be there for me, and I WOULD complete my education,” she says. Vachon-Jones has worked for Wells Fargo for 27 years now and feels her degree was insrumental in her recent promotion to Regional Manager. “I also feel that I have been a role model for my children. It took me 25 years, but I did it!” Vachon-Jones says.

WarsawT’ai ChiThe origin of T’ai Chi reaches back over three millennia to its roots in Chinese traditional medicinal techniques. One of the most relaxing forms of martial arts, this nonviolent form revolves around calmness meant to allow one to experience the vital life force, or Chi, throughout their body. Literally translated, T’ai Chi means “Supreme Ultimate,” teaching those who practice it to be more relaxed through greater connection and awareness of thought and movement.

Upon completion of this course, participants will receive a certification card that identifies them as a trained and certified Open Water Diver allowing them to purchase or rent scuba equipment, participate in advanced training opportunities, and explore diving destinations around the world.

From the cover…

Janet K. Bircheff, A.S. ’08, B.G.S. ’10, transfered to IPFW in 1998 bringing with her the 23 credits she had earned at Manchester College years earlier. She took classes

“on and off between babies,” changed her major a number of times, and completed an Associate degree in Early Childhood Education in 2008, graduating “with distinction.” When Bircheff learned the more than 100 college credits she had logged by that time could be applied to the Bachelor of General Studies, she decided not to let them go to waste. She completed the Bachelor of General Studies with a minor in Psychology in ’10, graduating from IPFW the same evening as her youngest daughter. Today she is employed by C.A.N.I. Head Start where she continues to find joy working with young children. “The education I received at IPFW raised my appreciation not only for the active learning processes of young children, but also for the challenges and successes of their families. I am livin’ the dream!” Bircheff says.

From the cover…

Lori Ann Cammllarie, B.G.S., B.A. ’11, had attended three junior colleges in Michigan before taking a 20-year hiatus from school. It was the hope of improving life for her

young daughter that inspired her to return to complete her degree. Three years of her community college credits transferred to the Bachelor of General Studies at IPFW allowing Cammllarie to complete not just one, but two degrees simultaneously — a Bachelor of General Studies with three minors plus a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. She attributes her success to having made good use of all of the services available on campus to adult learners, including her academic advisor who kept her on track to graduate, the Center for Academic Support and Advancement (CASA) for academic support, and her professors, who were always ready to help. “Everyone comes back to college scared and intimidated,” she says. “Believe in yourself! Don’t allow anyone to limit your expectations. And above all, be involved!”

Introduction to Spanish/English Interpretation and TranslationThis course is for individuals who are interested in exploring a career as an interpreter of spoken language and/or a translator of written language in the business, legal, criminal/investigative, and medical fields. It consists of learning and understanding the basics about the role of an interpreter or a translator, including the ethics, protocol, and procedures.

Participants will be given an overview of the interpreting and translating professions in a course that contains samplings of specific terminology used in these fields, as well as typical scenarios in which translators and interpreters are asked to work. In addition to memorization and on-the-spot vocabulary usage and practice, techniques and resources will be covered to develop and maintain vocabulary facility, which is an indispensable component of these professions.

Participants interested in this course must be fluent in both the Spanish and English languages. In addition to real-life simulations, students will also receive information on the processes to obtain certification in specific interpretation and translation fields. While this course will not replace the certification examinations themselves, it can better prepare prospective interpreters and translators to know what to expect in such tests and understand why certification is becoming the new norm.

Who Should Attend• Bilingual individuals who are proficient

in both the English and the Spanish languages.

• Individuals seeking or simply exploring careers in the Spanish/English translation and interpretation fields.

• Individuals who already have an interpretation or translation component in their lines of work but may have become aware of certain issues in the process.

• Individuals in the legal or medical professions who may wish to add such a component to their work responsibilities, but need to better understand why “conflicts of interest” could arise and why the interpreter or translator should be considered the “neutral resource” in some scenarios.

• Bilingual professionals working as nurses, human resource professionals, or police officers.

From the cover…

Curiosity and a love of learning make Melvia Staten Culpher, B.G.S. ’12, a model lifelong learner. She earned a Qualified Medical Assistant (QMA) certificate straight out of high school, qualifying her to work with geriatric patients from whom she “learned so much about life.” After working for 12 years at a job she loved, she made the bold decision to return to school to complete an Associate of Science in Business from Ivy Tech. (Retail business had always been another of

Culpher’s interests.) When she learned her six semesters of credit from Ivy Tech would transfer to the Bachelor of General Studies at IPFW, she jumped right in, completing the B.G.S. in May 2012. Today she is enrolled in a graduate program at Indiana Wesleyan working towards a Master of Arts in Criminal Justice with a new goal. Culpher intends to become a child advocate working within the court system, motivated by her experiences with two young children from Haiti who she has nurtured and tutored for the past 10 years. And that’s a whole other story!

Dancing in the Flames: A ContinuationDancing in the Flames is a continuation of the study of Woman in the Shaman’s Body that was offered last fall. The previous course is not a prerequisite.

We will be looking at powerful women in the history of Egypt, Europe, and Central America. We will delve in to the cultures that birthed them and how they changed by following their inner voices of wisdom. From Hapsetshut and Hypatia to the Goddess Cultures of the Mediterranean and to the roots of the Madonna of Guadelupe, we will look for the women who danced in the flames of change.

The roles that women played in these cultures are still passed on from grandmother to daughter to granddaughter, sometimes in song and stories, but always in our soul. How do these women inspire us? How can we as women in the 21st century follow our own inner voice of the heart? These are some of the topics that will be discussed.

This class will look at the definition and roles of women shamans in several different cultures of the world. Learn how women shamans have been ignored by western archeology and the reasons why. Look at the storytellers, the culture bearers, and the artists of tradition and the roles they have played in the history of their people.

The course will be based, in part, on the instructor’s travels in Central America, as well as on the work and stories of three women authors: archeologist Marija Gimbutas, author of The Language of the Goddess, 1985; artist and Mayanist Linda Schele, author of The Forest of Kings, 1990; and anthropologist and K’iche’ Maya Shaman, Barbara Tedlock, author of The Woman in the Shaman’s Body, 2005.13SPER568W

Make Your Songs Radio-ReadyPrerequisite: A basic understanding of recording software

Mastering is the final quality-control process that all popular musicians employ for selling and broadcasting music. It could be compared to color correction in photography, wherein photographers safeguard that the picture isn’t too dark, washed out, or has poor colors. In the music world, the sound can have too much bass or not enough, be too bright, and/or have elements in the music that are too loud, etc.; all of these imperfections in the music-making process are corrected in mastering.

This course teaches musicians and amateur recording technicians how to correct the tonality of a room so that the sound can be trusted and accurate. It teaches the use of software for correcting sound issues related to tonality, density, and space of the music. The course also presents “equalization” and how to use it to allow beginners to make effective decisions immediately. The use of compression for manipulating density and reverberation for harmonic enhancement, depth, and saturation will also be discussed. Other topics like stereo imaging, brick-wall limiting and dithering will round out the instruction.

The course aims to present this complex subject in simple language so all participants can enhance their music-making hobby.13SPER491

Jessie A. Culbertson, B.G.S., ’12, came to IPFW’s General Studies office in spring 2010 looking for a degree path that would accept his previously

earned college credits. He already had completed three semesters at the University of Evansville and had taken a few courses at IPFW as well. The General Studies program allowed him to transfer 31 credits, giving him a head start on a Bachelor of General Studies (B.G.S.). “My favorite part of the program is the flexibility it (the Bachelor of General Studies) gives the student. It allowed me to tailor my degree and focus on the subjects that interest me,” Culbertson says. Culbertson concentrated his study in the areas of sociology and criminal justice, completing minors in each and finishing the degree within two years.
