ountless adults are returning to the classroom, both on- line and on the ground, to pursue their education. Whether
they’re returning to adapt to changes in the economy, are look- ing to move ahead in their current role or are making the time to pursue the degree they’ve always wanted, heading back to school to compete in a knowledge-based economy can mean a lot of adjustment and some new experiences. “The good news is that adult students tend to be more fo-
cused, motivated and driven toward the goal of graduation. They are pursuing their degree to advance their career and have a positive impact on their lives and their families. As long as they do some advance planning, their chances of academic suc- cess are strong,” says Dr. David Lange, chair of the College of Education at Argosy University, Twin Cities. The key, according to Lange, is for adult learners to choose

the right school and to use the resources available to them. “Know what you want to pursue and make sure the college you are looking at has that program and the learning options you need, whether that’s courses on ground, online or a mixture of both. Also be sure you’re comfortable with the size of the school. A smaller university can afford you the personal atten- tion and access you need as someone returning to school after a time.”
Academic challenges aren’t the only ones facing adults who
return to school for more career training. “Time and family are important considerations,” says Lange. “Have a discussion with your family and make sure they understand your needs, goals and the changes or adjustments that will be made to the family structure while you are in school.” “Finding time to study is important,” says Gold, “but find-
ing time away from your studies can be just as critical to your overall success. The key is to find as much balance as possible and remember that there is an end in sight and it involves hav- ing achieved a major milestone.” Also important, Gold says, is to be open to new experiences. “Many students don’t come in expecting to enjoy themselves,” she says. “Forming new friendships and enjoying the learning process are some of the great added benefits that most adult learners don’t expect.”
