The Adult Learner Comeback
Three authors who study and counsel adult learners explain who the some-college-no-degree population really is, why adults stop out and what brings them back. They argue that adults rarely lack motivation, that belonging is built at every touch point, and that recognizing prior credit, through transfer and credit for prior learning, is one of the strongest signals a college can send.
