Are you an Adult Learner?
If you can answer yes to any of these questions,
you might be an adult learner!
· Do you drink coffee in the afternoon?
· Are you the only person sitting in the front row in class?
· Have you been mistaken for a professor?
· Are your favorite shoes older than most of your classmates?
·
Do you arrange your class schedule around your kids naptime?
Adult Learners (non-traditional students) are typically students who are married, have children, are 25 years of age or older, or are resuming their studies after a break from college. Non-traditional students face a unique set of challenges. Sometimes it is hard to fit in when being a student is not your full-time job. We understand this and we are here to help!
