UNION INSTITUTE & UNIVERSITY ANNOUNCES ONE PERCENT TUITION INCREASE FOR THE 2010-2011 ACADEMIC YEAR
Increase is well below the national average; UI&U remains committed to making higher education possible for every adult learner
CINCINNATI, OH – Union Institute & University (UI&U), a private, non-profit university headquartered in Walnut Hills today announced a one percent increase in tuition for the 2011 academic year that runs from July 2010 through June 30, 2011. The one percent increase is well below national average. According to the Smart Student Guide to Financial Aid, (FinAid.org) the average college inflation rate is 7% or 8% per year for the next ten years. (http://www.collegeboard.com/press/releases/208962.html)
Union’s provost, deans, enrollment managers, and financial administrators worked alongside UI&U trustees to examine options and to prepare a budget that would implement the smallest possible increase in tuition and fees. They considered a variety of factors, including information from the College Board and other national trends that lead to increases including the cost of energy, insurance, information technology, and library materials.
“Union Institute & University pledges to continue to offer the highest quality educational programs, and to make every attempt to control expenditures in order to serve the greatest number of persons who can benefit from our method of education,” said UI&U President Roger H. Sublett.
In its ongoing effort to make higher education possible for all adult learners, UI&U increased available scholarship dollars university-wide by more than $400,000 this year and to offset the small tuition increase, the university is engaged in efforts to find more scholarship opportunities for its learners. Recently, UI&U recently secured a $50,000 grant for female learners in Cincinnati through the Kellogg Foundation.
The university is also working out tuition offsets for those transferring from schools with which it has articulation agreements and has expanded library databases and services. This spring, UI&U will convert to a greatly improved student database system that provides learners 24/7 access to account and academic records. In addition, UI&U increased the availability of online courses and options, replaced much travel with audio and video conferencing, and, by changing the academic calendars, has been able to increase federal financial aid (loans and grants) available for several programs.
“We remain true to this goal and also remain committed to our cornerstones of inclusiveness and outreach to underserved populations that have been a part of our legacy and imperative components for our vision for the future,” said Dr. Sublett.

UI&U Launches Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies Program
New post-graduate program prepares learners for licensure and helps them advance in their careers while focusing on their individual goals and interests
BRATTLEBORO, VT. - Union Institute & University, a private, non-profit university with two locations in Brattleboro today announced the launch of the Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies (CAGS) with concentrations in Psychology and Counseling, a certificate program designed for post-graduate learners who want to continue their education and wish to expand on their previous training in the science of psychology and the art of the helping professions.
“The CAGS program offers rigorous academic processes for both licensure-bound learners, enabling them to meet increasingly detailed specifications for credentialing, as well as those advancing their career goals in non-licensure tracks,” said Dr. Nicholas Young, director of UI&U’s programs in psychology and counseling. “The post-graduate program is directed towards mastery in the field, and like all Union programs, the focus is on the individual goals and unique needs of learners.”
Learners in the CAGS program can chose concentrations that prepare them for licensure: professional counseling and counselor education and supervision; as well as non-licensure concentrations in human development and wellness, and psychology education.
The two brief residency options are sensitive to adults with busy lives. Those who live close to the Brattleboro Center or who desire more frequent face-to-face contact may opt for the Weekend Option, while those at a distance may select the National Option that meets for a week twice each year. For more information contact the UI&U Graduate Admissions Office at 1-800-336-6794 ext. 8900, or email BrattleboroCenter@myunion.edu.

Announcing the Women's Empowerment Scholarship
UNION INSTITUTE & UNIVERSITY ANNOUNCES THE
WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT SCHOLARSHIP
“Through its generous support, the Kellogg Foundation is making it possible for women in Cincinnati to earn a degree, advance professionally, and fulfill their dreams.”
CINCINNATI – Union Institute & University (UI&U), a private, non-profit university headquartered in Walnut Hills offering flexible, individualized, and socially relevant degree programs for adults is pleased to announce the UI&U Women’s Empowerment Scholarship Fund, to benefit single, female, head-of-household learners who enroll in the UI&U Bachelor of Science program in Cincinnati.
The scholarship is funded by a $50,000 grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation of Battle Creek, Mich. and will be awarded for UI&U’s Spring/Summer 2010 and Fall 2010 semesters.
The grant addresses two of the biggest hurdles for adults who want to pursue a college education which are time and finances. These can be insurmountable obstacles for women, in particular, who juggle children, career, and growing indebtedness.
“The scholarship program has a far-reaching impact. By providing single mothers with the opportunity to earn a college degree, they will have the potential to increase their earning potential, and thereby the opportunity to both better provide for their children and serve as role models - giving the entire family a brighter future and a better chance at achieving academic and career success,” said Dr. Carolyn Turner, dean of UI&U’s Cincinnati undergraduate programs. “Through its generous support, the Kellogg Foundation has provided the opportunity for women in Cincinnati to earn a degree, advance professionally, and fulfill their dreams.”
UI&U President Roger H. Sublett said, “The Women’s Empowerment Scholarship is a direct reflection of Union Institute & University’s ongoing commitment to engage, enlighten, and empower adults as they pursue a lifetime of service. All of UI&U’s programs are rooted in real-world application,” Dr. Sublett continued, “and many UI&U graduates are fulfilling leadership roles at local organizations including Head Start, United Way, and Hamilton County Job and Family Services.”
The Women’s Empowerment Scholarship will support a minimum of 15 scholarships in the amount of $3,300 to single, female, heads-of-household who care for dependent children and who are newly admitted to the B.S. program for the Spring/Summer semester starting May 2, 2010. The deadline to apply for the scholarship is March 12, 2010. For more information contact Kim Cotton, Enrollment and Outreach Coordinator at 513-487-1219 or at kim.cotton@myunion.edu.
