Course Overview
Adult Education extends through the life span from late adolescence to advanced age and takes place in a rich diversity of organizational as well as informal settings. The purpose of the Adult Education program is to increase the knowledge and competence of those who work with adult learners. Course work, reading assignments, research projects, internships, informal discussions, and the dissertation all provide opportunities for in-depth and challenging learning experiences. The programs are interdisciplinary, and students are advised to seek learning in supporting fields within the University. The Ph. D. , D. Ed. , and M.Ed. degrees are offered only at University Park. The M.Ed. is also offered through the World Campus, and through the joint M. D. /M.Ed. program. Harrisburg offers the D. Ed. degree.
