Online Adult Education Degree Programs

Adult education has evolved in the past 15 years from teaching adults basic or remedial skills to further educating adults in new skills, the latest technology, and better ways to solve problems and manage information. Adult education is a growing field that works to better understand how adults learn and how to most effectively teach them, whether individually, in a class, or in a corporate setting.

Adult education jobs range from academic dean to corporate trainer, a high-ranking position that many corporations, non-profit organizations, and government agencies now are instituting. Adult educators are expected to employ and develop up-to-date and creative methods of teaching adults, including using the Internet and electronic technology.

There is no standard certification for adult educators, but many adult education jobs require an advanced degree. Coursework for this degree can include: planning and executing adult education programs, adult education administration, and adult education in a social context. Adult education degrees do not provide K-12 teaching certification.

The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook handbook projects that the market for adult education jobs will increase 34% from 2002 to 2012.
