Sarah Fisher determined to add 'graduate' to resume, attend WGU
INDIANAPOLIS -- As the youngest woman to ever qualify for the Indianapolis 500, IndyCar team owner Sarah Fisher knows what it takes to go faster. Now, in addition to managing IndyCar's first woman-owned team, she's ready to go further by finishing her bachelor's degree at WGU Indiana.
Fisher has enrolled in WGU Indiana's College of Business and will begin her studies in August. Though she began college after graduating seventh in her high school class and with honors, her racing career grew; and finishing her degree took a back seat.
"Now that I'm a mother, a wife and an IndyCar team owner, I'm constantly juggling my schedule," Fisher said. "I'm ready to finish my degree, but I need a university that's adaptable to my life and offers quality programs that make going back to school a good investment of my time and energy. I'm excited about earning my degree at WGU Indiana."
WGU Indiana was established nearly three years ago by former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels for working Hoosiers to pursue a high-quality college degree at a price they can afford. The university has grown to more than 3,300 students and graduated more than 700. Students and graduates represent every county in the state. As Indiana's nonprofit, online university, WGU Indiana's flat-rate tuition is $3,000 per six-month term, a rate that has not increased since the university was created.
"WGU Indiana is proud to provide an education to a disciplined, determined competitor," Chancellor Allison Barber said. "I expect Sarah to excel in our university, because she demonstrates the same traits of our other students -- a strong work ethic, independence and a commitment to excellence. I'm excited to watch her learn and inspire other Hoosiers to continue their dreams of a college degree."
