After graduation, students will take their place in the business and professional world as college graduates or continue on with graduate education. The program itself will draw together experiences which mid-career adults have gained from a variety of sources. Students will complete a general education requirement of 30 credits which will include competencies in science and mathematics, humanities, social sciences and general electives. Students will also complete a minimum of 15 credits in their area of emphasis. Many of these credits may come from transfer courses.
Students begin their program by taking a course called The Adult Student.
This course begins the task of building the Program Schedule and introduces students to how adults learn, which is different from how children learn. The second half of this course introduces students to how to find information and resources which will serve as the backbone of their studies. Students then complete the Portfolio Development Course where they prepare a portfolio of their experiential learning. Students then progress on to their core studies and a field study experience and complete their program with a Senior Project. This project is related to the student's emphasis and allows students to explore a subject of interest to them.
