Are you an Adult Learner?

An adult learner is generally defined as a student 25 years and older. Regardless of age, many learners also juggle other responsibilities, such as jobs, family and home. Adult learners pursue four-year degrees with hopes of expanding their career options, changing jobs or staying competitive in their current career. Some adult learners return to complete a degree after pausing for other priorities.
