Program Highlights
A career spent learning
Our 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.
Program requirements
This certificate program is designed for the experienced educator-teacher, counselor, administrator, program planner, or policy-maker who works with adults in educational settings or who wants to explore the use of adult learning strategies as an alternative educational approach for working with younger learners.
Experiential learning
In addition to required core courses, students design their learning through electives, a range of skills-based courses, internships, and self-directed projects.
Expert faculty
