Adult Education

The adult education minor prepares you to teach adults. You will learn about adult development and learning in conjunction with methods of teaching adult learners.

This program is a support area to a variety of disciplines, including professional communication, business and management, psychology, nursing and religious studies.

Specializing in adult education is useful for anyone working with adults - managers and supervisors, training and development specialists, health care professionals, teachers, directors, religious education professionals, and professionals in gerontology. The need for adult educators is found in industrial training programs, in human resource management, in senior citizen activities and in religious education programs.
