Return to Learn: The Adult Learner Series
This virtual series, designed for the fastest growing population of students across college campuses, provides key information adults need to enter a degree program, return to school to finish a degree, or add credentials to an existing degree. Though it was created for adults aged 25 or older, anyone can benefit from attending Return to Learn.
Hosted by Farmingdale State College’s Enrollment team in collaboration with the offices of Financial Aid, Distance Learning and the Nexus Center for Applied Learning and Career, Return to Learn will cover a different topic each week.
