When it comes to career choices or special training, whether the end result is to advance at work, make a career move, or simply learn about a fascinating new topic, statistics from the U.S. Department of Education show that adult students are the fastest growing educational demographic, with the numbers steadily increasing.

DID YOU KNOW?

Many colleges and universities are making it convenient for adults to return to school through distance learning opportunities, night and weekend classes, and entrepreneurial programs that fit their unique needs.

	The U.S. Department of Education estimates that 90 million individuals participate in some form of adult education each year.
	Studies have shown that 80% of adult students graduate as compared to a 50% average graduation rate among the traditional students.
	The Association for Nontraditional Students in Higher Education (ANTSHE) reports that students who are over 25 make up as much as 47 percent of the new and returning student population on many of today's college campuses.
If you are an adult considering higher education, starting new or returning, remember that the advantages overshadow the difficulties in pursing your degree later in life. Because most colleges and universities have tailored their programs to fit your needs, going back to school is completely achievable!
