This program is designed for educational professionals wishing to acquire new skills or to build on their current knowledge base. Adult education is particularly appropriate for those who do not want to pursue a graduate degree but are interested in organizing, conducting, evaluating or administering programs in education. Typical students range from business people to government workers to healthcare professionals and all other professionals involved in the world of learning.

To apply you should have at least two years of work experience in the field of adult education, broadly defined. Because adult education occurs in diverse business, community and numerous other settings, applicants for this program do not need to be qualified teachers; however, teachers are also welcome. Persons with relevant experience will be considered even if they do not have an undergraduate degree.
