Adult Education Vs. Continuing Education
from: TRFYou may have noticed that adult education and continuing education are sometimes used interchangeably. While this can be true since the continuing education department usually handles adult education classes, they can be different in terms of the amount of education they provide.
Adults who want to take one or two college classes can do so by enrolling as a continuing education student. These students cannot attend college full-time, but they are welcome to take one or two classes each semester at their local college. People who are interested in these classes are usually business people, retired people, or people who may want to enrol full-time, but who want to see how a particular program works.
Each semester, adult continuing education students will get to choose their adult education classes from an abbreviated course catalogue that contains three or four classes from different departments. These adult continuing education classes are regular college classes that are being taken by full-time students. Adult continuing education students will have to adhere to the same policies concerning grades and attendance as the other students. Adult continuing education students will receive a grade at the end of the semester.
Many students who start out as adult continuing education students become full-time students. This can be a good way to ease back into college life or just get a feel for a program and its faculty to see if the program is right for them.
You can contact your local college's adult continuing education program to find out more information. They will send you a catalogue and other information about the adult continuing education program along with the number of credits you can take each semester.
There are many benefits to adult education classes including:
*Finding new hobbies
*Meeting new people
*Use of creativity and imagination
*Stress release
*Spark new interests in old hobbies
*Increased physical activity
*Mental stimulation
*Fulfil emotional needs
*Improve language skills
*Learn new skill
These are benefits that will last a lifetime. As we age, we need to find activities that are not only challenging, but also rewarding. Learning a new skill or improving one's language skills will give you a sense of pride and satisfaction. You will be in control of your adult continuing education. This is a feeling that can last a lifetime.
