THE OFFICE FOR ADULT LEARNERS

It's never too late for someone to enroll in school and complete their education. At Fayetteville State University, more than 50% of our students are over the 18-23 year age span which is considered 'typical' of a college student. Literature calls the over 25 population 'non-traditional' or 'part-way home.' We prefer to think of them as students with a wealth of life experience, often military service, juggling the challenges of full time job and family responsibilities, but determined to complete their degree. The Office for Adult Learners is a campus resource dedicated to supporting them in their pursuit.

The Office for Adult Learners

The Office for Adult Learners serves as an advocate for all UNDERGRADUATE students who are 25 and older. We are committed to helping students make the right connections to achieve the goal of completing a college degree. As an adult learner, we realize that you face a different set of challenges when it comes to finishing your education. The responsibilities of school, family, job, and whatever else is getting in the way of achieving your dreams can be discouraging. We are here to serve your needs and help you accomplish what you set out to do.

Come by our office in the Broadwell College of Business and Economics, Suite 130 to share your story and ask questions. We are here to help!
