"Older" Student Information

For many adults 55 and older, the period leading up to retirement and your retirement years provides new opportunities for continuing your learning. Whether you want to take a course for vocational or recreational reasons, are interested in really taking that literature or history course you "worked" your way through many years ago, want to learn a new language or more about a place you will be visiting, or simply want to enjoy learning for learning sake, e-learning can help you meet your objectives. The Electronic Campus can help determine if you want to take your course online or in a traditional classroom and provide information where to attend class tuition free!
