Adult education refers to programs that prepare scholars to teach, train, or coach adult learners. Adult educators may teach courses to prepare adults for the GED or other high school equivalency or provide professional development courses for working professionals.

A master’s degree is an advanced academic program that can take about two years of full-time schooling to earn, provided students have already received a bachelor’s degree. Earning an MA may help students achieve their educational goals and set them on the path toward accomplishing their professional goals as well.
