The Adult and Lifelong Learning curriculum is designed to prepare scholars/practitioners for instructional leadership roles. Coursework focuses on the assessment, design, and implementation of educational programs for adult learners across diverse developmental stages. Adult and Lifelong Learning scholars/practitioners work with specialized groups of adults including those with less than secondary (high school equivalent) education, adult learners in postsecondary education, participants in educational programs offered by community and nonprofit agencies, and participants in professional education programs. Graduates of the degrees in Adult and Lifelong Learning are employed as instructors, coordinators, and directors of adult education and lifelong learning programs within adult literacy and general education, leisure learning, community and nonprofit organizations, extension education, military education, postsecondary education, and continuing professional education programs.
