“Multiple Meanings of College” explores significance of college for adult learners

Adult learners have more higher education options than ever before — from degree to non‐degree‐bearing programs. Understanding whether or not adult learners still desire a four‐year degree — and if so, why — the authors of a new white paper assert, is “especially important at a time of great enthusiasm about novel alternatives to college diplomas.”

Abstract

Adult learners have more higher education options than ever before — from degree to non‐degree‐bearing programs. Understanding whether or not adult learners still desire a four‐year degree — and if so, why — the authors of a new white paper assert, is “especially important at a time of great enthusiasm about novel alternatives to college diplomas.”
