The Adult Student Meets the Network Effect

Presented by The Chronicle of Higher Education:
The nation has more than 80 million adults who graduated from high school but never earned a postsecondary degree, an essential requirement for high-paying jobs. Meanwhile, colleges are enrolling fewer adult undergraduate students than they have in years past. Explore the varied challenges adult students face in attending college or returning to complete their degrees, drawing on the expertise of a long-time advocate for adult students and a veteran journalist of higher education.
