Adult and Career Education (B.S.)

Indiana State University

Description:

The University offers a bachelor of science (B.S.) in adult and career education.

The Adult and Career Education (ACE) Program is designed to address the needs of working adults (or adults seeking employment) who want to complete a college degree in a customized area of study.

Core coursework focuses on skills that are in high demand by today's employers—skills such as creative problem solving, critical thinking, team building, communication technology, and work-life integration. Beyond the core classes, students work with an advisor to customize a specialization to meet their career and personal goals.

ACE provides a flexible, convenient, and individualized approach to education for adult students who have earned approximately 60 college credits. The on-line core program is delivered in accelerated eight-week courses. Advisors help students identify prior learning experiences that may qualify for college credit, including military training, non-collegiate sponsored training, proficiency exams and work experiences. Resources and support for on-line learning are built into the program.

Special Note:  Adult and Career Education is an on-line program designed for individuals who have completed approximately 60 credit hours and meet other eligibility requirements. For further information, visit Adult and Career Education on the University's DegreeLink Web site.
