Program Description

Event Details

Did you know adult learners make up nearly half of all students currently enrolled in colleges and universities in the US? Of undergraduate students, about 38% are older than 25, more than 25% are raising children, and about 58% work while enrolled in college.

Are you an adult who is interested in starting or restarting an associates or bachelor’s degree program? You're never too old to pursue higher education! In this in-person information session, you will learn more about types of colleges, degree programs, course modalities, college application requirements, costs, and financial aid for adult learners.  We are here to help!

The presenter is Heather Murphy, Associate Director in the Office of Professional, Adult, and Continuing Knowledge and Interim Assistant Project Director of the TRIO Educational Opportunities (EOC) Program at the University at Albany.
