Adult Learning Programs
The Center for Adult Students provides services to adults seeking credit coursework. Services are both academic and support in nature. Academic services include advising students while in pre-major status as well as maintaining a liaison relationship with each of the Schools. Students are also given guidance on appropriate coursework to enhance employability and to strengthen current working situations. The office is typically the initial contact point for all new and re-enrolled adult learners. Support services include workshops such as computer skills, personal finance, math anxiety and other topics of interest to adult learners. Two student organizations are available: Returning Adult Student Organization (RASO) and Alpha Sigma Lambda honor society.
Behrend College has associate and baccalaureate degree programs available for evening and/or day completion. In addition to taking courses on campus, there are courses available through Penn State's World Campus via on-line and mail delivery modes as well as opportunities to receive credit for "life experiences", advanced placement or the College Level Exam Program (CLEP).
