Adult Education
This program is designed for adult education practitioners
who wish to acquire or improve their skills and knowledge.
It is particularly appropriate for those who do not want to
pursue a graduate degree but are interested in organizing,
conducting, evaluating or administering programs in adult
education. Typical students include trainers from business,
industry and government, community and political activists,
church and development workers, continuing educators, museum
and art gallery workers, extension personnel, culture workers,
teachers, health and other professionals interested in learning
and education, broadcasters, consultants, researchers and
citizens whose civic duties involve community organizing and
helping adults learn.
Applicants should have at least two years of work experience
in the field of adult education, broadly defined. Because
adult education occurs in diverse business, community and
numerous other settings, applicants for this program do not
need to be qualified teachers.
Teachers are also welcome. As well, persons with relevant
experience will be considered even if they do not have an
undergraduate degree. Application forms are obtainable from:
