Resources

The entire Adult Education Graduate Student Handbook can be downloaded and printed in full by students preferring to maintain a hardcopy of the Handbook for reference.  

Students interested in finding more about our courses can view the course list and read their descriptions.

Those who are new to distance learning at Penn State can find answers to frequently asked questions by checking out the World Campus FAQ page.

Faculty as well as graduate students in Adult Education at Penn State are actively involved with affiliated institutes, major associations, and professional publishers in the field, and many travel regularly to give presentations at national and international conferences.  Doctoral students are encouraged to develop their presentation and writing abilities through participation in these activities, and may be provided assistance with travel-related expenses by completing the program's travel reimbursement application and returning it to the program staff assistant, Cathy Watson.  

Graduate students beginning work on their final thesis research paper (dissertation) will find helpful assistance in the Thesis Guidelines page.

Graduate students interested in reading dissertations of graduated doctoral students please visit the Penn State Library System.  Scroll down to Adult Education and click on the student's name of the dissertation you wish to view.  This will take you to a summary page giving the student's abstract and at the bottom of this page is the pdf to the dissertation.
