Download or read book Never Too Late written by Rebecca Klein-Collins and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2018-12-18 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A smart, snappy, and comprehensive guide for the millions of adults who are thinking about going—or going back—to college and want to know how to do it right As anyone who has done it knows, going back to school is a major undertaking. For younger and older adults alike, starting or returning to school presents different challenges than those encountered by teens fresh out of high school and heading straight to college. Countless Americans take on this task while working, raising kids, caring for parents, volunteering, serving in the military—and in some cases all of the above. Although the "non-traditional" undergraduate student is in fact the new normal, the glut of college guides out there don't include practical advice for the busy moms, frustrated employees, and ambitious adults who are applying to college or hoping to finish earning a degree. Never Too Late will help readers jump-start a new professional path or speed down the one they're already on by guiding them through vital questions: What should I study? How can I afford the time and money required to get a college degree? How do I compare schools? With key chapters on flexibility ("It's About Time!" and "Face-to-Face or Cyberspace?") and rankings of the best colleges for grown-ups diving back into the books, Never Too Late is an essential reference for adults seeking a richer life—and a meaningful place in our rapidly changing economy and world.

Download or read book Earn a Debt Free College Degree written by Cyrus Vanover and published by . This book was released on 2013-05 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earn An Accredited College Degree Without Student Loans! Not a day goes by that reports of the ever-increasing costs of higher education are making the news. In order to earn that coveted credential we have to take on a mountain of debt to pay for it, right? And in the society we now live in if you don't have that coveted credential, it can be very difficult to get started in a good-paying career. What's a person to do? Good news...You don't have to take on a mountain of debt to earn an accredited college degree. In fact, it's even possible to earn a college degree for free if you know how the system works. And there are many ways to earn inexpensive college credits that colleges and universities don't want you to know about. Why do they want this information kept secret? Simple...because they are raking in the cash from your tuition money and they don't want the gravy train to stop. Earn A Debt-Free College Degree! is a book that explodes the myth that earning a college degree requires a lot of money (and a big student loan that takes years to pay off). The book shows you how to earn an accredited bachelor's degree for anywhere from free to no more than $15,000(and half this amount for associate's degrees). The best part about the strategies the book presents is that they do not rely on scholarships. That's the major difference between this book and all the other books on the market that claim they can help you lower your tuition bills. Nearly all of those books talk about scholarships. These books make it sound like businesses and organizations have scholarship money just lying around and they are just looking for someone to give it to. It all sounds oh so easy, doesn't it? There's just one problem with this...thousands of other students have read those same books and they are all applying for the same scholarships you are. It takes many hours of work to search scholarship databases, fill out all those applications, and write essays. And then it becomes a waiting game to see if a scholarship committee picks you out of hundreds of applicants. You don't have to worry about such an uncertain way to pay for college. There is a better way. Earn A Debt-Free College Degree! presents simple strategies that nearly anyone can implement. You don't have to be a stellar student with amazing grades, either. Your previous academic achievements won't matter. Here are just a few things you'll discover in the book: - Learn how to obtain textbooks for pennies on the dollar - Discover more than a dozen colleges and universities in the U.S. that don't charge tuition to any students who are accepted (and five of these don't charge room and board, either) - Find out how you can earn college credit that is accepted by nearly 1,900 college and universities in the United States by taking and passing one single multiple-choice exam. Most schools will accept up to 30 credit hours into a degree program from this type of credit. And it gets even better. It's possible to earn 30 credit hours with this strategy for under $1,000. - Discover how you can earn a four-year degree in only three years or even two years in some cases. - Learn how you can turn previously completed training courses through your job, volunteer organization, and others into usable college credit. Most colleges and universities accept this type of credit but too few know about it. - Discover the amazing educational benefits available for military personnel (either full-time, Guard, or reserves personnel). Learn how you can go from zero college credits all the way to a doctorate on the government's tab. - And many others. We've become accustomed to the idea that earning a college degree is something that is very expensive. It's time to destroy that myth. Let this book show you the way.

Download or read book A Guide to College Success for Post traditional Students written by Henry S. Merrill and published by IAP. This book was released on 2018-08-01 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to assist post-traditional students to achieve success in the Occupational, Workforce, and Leadership Studies (OWLS) Department and develop their individualized pathway to earn the interdisciplinary Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences (BAAS) degree at Texas State University. Applied baccalaureate degrees incorporate higher-order thinking skills and advanced technical knowledge and skills with applied coursework. BAAS students may also earn college-level credits through prior learning assessment (PLA), evaluating and credentialing knowledge and skills gained outside the classroom. The organization and content of this book provides adult degree program faculty and leaders an example of how one required textbook develops and supports the outcomes and activities in all the core courses of an interdisciplinary degree program designed for post-traditional adult learners. The majority of the students earning the BAAS degree are post-traditional students. They are often defined with some or all of these characteristics: over age 25 years old when starting or returning to college, may not have a traditional high school diploma, enroll part-time, work full-time, are financially independent, have dependents other than a spouse and may be a single parent. These students juggle multiple roles and responsibilities in the family, workplace, and community. Post-traditional students bring rich work/life experiences, may be experiencing personal and/or professional transitions, have clear career goals, and often finance their education. They seek flexible programs including online education, PLA, and accelerated course formats. Thus, post-traditional students want active, collaborative, and interactive learning relevant to career and other roles and goals.
