摘要:Adult learners are becoming a growing population on campuses around the country. The adult student is looking for a flexible and fast paced program that will allow him to finish a degree quickly without giving up his life. He is balancing home, family, job and school while not wanting any area to suffer. Many institutions are making student satisfaction a priority. Acknowledging that the satisfaction experienced by the adult student will differ from that experienced by the traditional age student is a key to successful competition for the enrollment and retention numbers. This paper describes the process of the creation of an Information Systems Degree marketed specifically to the adult learner. Among the areas addressed are, adult student needs, faculty input and reservations, curriculum design and administrative support.
