The 30-credit program emphasizes personal learning as a central theme, both as an approach to educator development and as a set of concepts and tools for working with adults in schools, businesses, social service agencies, hospitals, and other community organizations where adult education programs are planned and delivered. This is an individualized, flexible program that permits students to apply their learning to field-based projects. The HRD courses will be waived for students who have a master's degree in adult education or who have taken them previously. These students will take six credits of advisor-approved coursework instead.
Students present their projects in a seminar of faculty and peers.
No courses that were part of a student's master's degree may be counted toward the C.A.S. Up to six graduate credits earned prior to admission may be accepted by the C.A.S. Admissions Committee.
