Welcome to Adult Learning at Kennesaw State

Adult Learning at Kennesaw State University serves as an advocate for and facilitator of adult learning and credit for prior learning assessment on both KSU campuses. Adult Learning is the voice that speaks for campus-wide adult learning programs, much as the academic departments speak for their majors. 

The primary goal of the Adult Learning is to develop and maintain a unified, integrated, and effective adult learning and prior learning assessment program. The committee is advisory in nature and submits proposals to the Office of the Provost and Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs.
