For Adults

So you've decided to go to college.

Maybe you want to finally finish up the degree that you started years ago, or perhaps you've realized the career boost that a second degree will give you. Or maybe you're going back because you genuinely enjoy learning.

Congratulations. You won't be alone. Today's college campuses are full of people just like you -- working adults who want to keep learning. Two out of five college students today are age 25 or older.

We've developed this site to help adults realize their college dreams. You'll find resources and information about how you can both afford and achieve your college degree while managing the challenges of family and career.
