The services of adult educators and other human service personnel serving adults are increasingly in demand by organizations such as federal and local government agencies, centers for human resource development, community clinics, general and mental hospitals, business and industry, public day and evening schools, and adult education centers as well as colleges and universities. The Master of Science in Adult and Continuing Education is designed to enhance the professional competency of those individuals working in diverse fields serving adults. It is also meant to develop and strengthen the liberal and specialized education of administrators, counselors, teachers, and all other relevant practitioners of adult education, counseling and training programs.
