The Adult Learning and Education (ALE) program is a campus-based 30 credit professional degree program for aspiring adult education practitioners who may already be (or wish to be) working as instructors, program planners, consultants, community activists or administrators in a variety of settings. Students learn about ALE history and different philosophical approaches, theories of adult learning, and approaches to program planning and are encouraged to improve their specific area of practice and contribute to public discussions about the significance of adult learning in relation to the economy, social inclusion, community development and cultural diversity.
