About the Program Adult Education attracts people who believe in the value of lifelong learning. The college's programs in this field prepare educators to work in community schools, county or state programs, recreational settings-anywhere adults come to seek further knowledge and life enrichment opportunities.
Adult educators help students learn to apply skills they already have in new ways.
They teach every subject imaginable-reading, English as a second language, computer use, foreign languages, international studies, writing, or art. It's a vibrant field, fueled by expanding demand and interests, with a broad range of career possibilities in both the public and private sectors. The University of Minnesota is an equal opportunity educator and employer.
