Welcome to the Adult Education Program. Adult Education is a field of practice, research and scholarship. We believe it fosters an understanding of the different ways in which adults learn and different ways they may be helped to learn—alone, in groups, in the community, or in institutional settings. Students of Adult Education increase their ability to teach adults, plan adult learning experiences, conduct research regarding the teaching and learning of adults, and provide leadership in a variety of positions within the field. The Adult Education Program is part of the Learning & Performance Systems Department at University Park. The two doctorate programs offered are the D.Ed. and Ph.D. In addition, our doctorate (D.Ed.) degree is offered at Penn State Harrisburg and our master's (M.Ed.) degree is offered through the World Campus. The University Park campus of The Pennsylvania State University is located in the borough of State College, where the social and cultural life of a small-scale urban setting is enhanced by access to a scenic rural landscape and many recreational opportunities. You can travel to New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Washington, D.C. in only a short three to five hour drive. Commuter flights from University Park Airport (SCE) connect to major airline hubs in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Washington, D.C. For more information about State College, access the State College Web site. For reference maps and campus maps of the University Park campus, access the Campus Maps Web site. For those students interested in pursuing a dual-title degree program option please see The College of Education's Comparative and International Dual Title Degree Program. © Copyright 2005.
