Programs:
The Adult Education program believes that change is best
accomplished through education. Our mission is, first and foremost,
to address our
student's individual learning needs-to provide them opportunities
to become the best adult educators they can. We also prepare
our students-the professionals who work as trainers, managers, mentors,
evaluators,
and
designers of educational programs for other adult learners-to
be leaders for organizational and societal change.
This program is for mid-career professionals in higher education,
community/public school adult education, health services,
and human resource development. If you would like to read stories about our alumni adult educators, visit Alumni Career Stories.
We offer two programs:
The M.S. in Adult Education program offers a unique
set of academic courses, field experiences, and opportunities
for reflective practice for those wishing to advance
their knowledge and
skills in the field of
adult education.
The Post-Master's Certificate of Advanced Study is offered to those who
hold a Master's degree and want to pursue their own course
of study based on their current professional needs and aspirations.
On-line Learning Option: In addition to the campus-based
program at Gorham, a master's degree is offered through
on-line courses and some summer one-week intensive institutes,
enabling students from around the state to enroll. For more
information about this option, please contact the program
coordinator.
