We never stop learning. Our brains are designed to crave new experiences, and every new experience leads us to learn. So it’s no wonder that adult continuing education programs across the country are becoming more popular, more available, and far more utilized. And the reasons people continue to learn can be as different as the people themselves.
Adult continuing education programs provide the perfect outlet for recent retirees who suddenly find they miss the daily stimulation and challenge of working life. Course are available to further their hobbies, master an art, or train for a fun job to provide supplemental income.
Continuing education is also ideal for busy professionals who want to advance in their chosen field, but require certain certifications or education credits. As the amount of specialized knowledge in just about every field continues to grow and deepen, staying abreast of the changes and breakthroughs and daily progress can be a daunting task. Adult continuing education can help simplify the process.
But what if you are completely dissatisfied with your job and want to pursue other options, but you can’t afford to quit and go back to school? With dedication, a stable Internet connection, and maybe a few late-night study sessions, you can take advantage of the online education systems offered by many schools. And if there’s no large university in your area, don’t worry. Some courses are 100% online, with no in-class time required.
The best college in the world is undoubtably the one that teaches you the skills you need to succeed down whatever path you choose. With adult continuing education, that path never has to end, and you can continue to enjoy the journey of learning, wherever it takes you.
The continuing ed classes offered at the U have been a godsend for my husband and me, ever since we retired we’ve found that having a regular, weekly thing to do, no matter what it is, keeps us sane.
