| IU Continuing Studies Visits Statehouse with Advancing Indiana MessagE Representatives from Indiana University Continuing Studies programs statewide visited the Statehouse on Wednesday, February 22, to educate legislators on continuing education's contributions to the state's economic development, and to underscore Indiana University's commitment to workforce and economic development in the State of Indiana. Over the past three decades, tens of thousands of Hoosier adults have participated in degree studies and skills-oriented, career-enhancing, certificate programs offered through the universitywide school's distance programs and through Continuing Studies divisions on IU's eight campuses. "The impact IU Continuing Studies has had on economic development in Indiana over the past 30 years cannot be stressed enough," says SCS interim dean Judith Wertheim. "Providing a well-educated, trained workforce only makes Indiana's business climate more attractive. IU Continuing Studies has consistently provided the learning opportunities the workforce needs to develop skills and reach the educational level necessary to remain competitive." The Indiana University School of Continuing Studies was created in 1975 to respond to the educational needs of older, "nontraditional" students. The school and its campus divisions offer an associate and bachelor's degree in general studies, as well as hundreds of professional development and custom training opportunities. In addition, the universitywide school offers a wide range of high school and undergraduate distance education courses, an online master's degree in adult education, and an accredited high school diploma program.
