Adults in Undergraduate Degree Programs |
| If you are 25 years old or older you probably have
work and family responsibilities not shared by traditional-aged college
students, yet you may wish to begin college or return to college after
being out for several years. The continuing education office assists adults
who plan to seek an undergraduate degree on either a full or part-time
basis. Advisers are available to help interested individuals explore alternatives
and select programs of study tailored to meet their specific needs, interests,
and schedules. Adult students unfamiliar with the College may contact
the continuing education office for information about the campus and its
resources. The continuing education office helps matriculated adult degree students make the transition to college and offers special support and networking opportunities. When completing the admission application, you should check the adult student box and skip inapplicable questions (e.g., parents' backgrounds, high school guidance counselor recommendation). For adults the admissions committee reviews factors such as life and work experience, recent college credits, College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) scores, and other relevant indicators.
