Online Adult Education Degrees and Programs

Adult education is the study of the education of adult learners and students. Studying adult education is for individuals who are interested in teaching adult learners or who are already working with adults in an educational capacity and would like further certification and professional credentials.

Studying adult education will give participants further knowledge, training, skills, understanding and appreciation of adult education as an area of practice and study. Topics and areas that adult education covers include issues specifically related to adult learners, administration, adult education curriculum development, learning and teaching methods, and adult education as it relates to social change, current trends and global context.

Those who are interested in studying adult education, whether they hope to achieve an associate's degree, BA, MA, or PhD, could aspire to become adult ESL teachers, continuing education teachers and professors, teach adult learners who need a high-school diploma, GED preparation or literacy skills, or find a job in adult education administration and curriculum development.
