The Adult Studies Program provides a quality education – the same as that received by full-time undergraduate students. You’ll use the same textbooks and be taught by talented full-time and adjunct faculty members (not teaching assistants!) who are experts in their fields and have an appreciation for adult learners.
Our classes typically have fewer than 20 students, so you’ll receive direct, personal attention from faculty members. And, you’ll have a knowledgeable academic adviser who will guide you throughout the course of your study. It’s the supportive college environment you've been looking for!
